UFB. Weren't standardized tests supposed to be the cure for failing school systems by forcing them to TEACH something? I seem to recall that.

Now it turns out that those who don't give a d**n don't learn anything and flunk. Surprise.

"Culturally biased". A large part of what is taught in schools is culture. Things seemingly as objective and unbiased as physics and math have cultural assumptions about their worth behind them. If you live in a primitive societyh, you are taught how to make a hole in the ground with a stick to put a seed into. If you live in a more advanced society, you may learn Maxwell's equations and Shakespeare. But all that is taught is influenced by and part of a culture.
