Not saying it does but what I am saying is it’s not two brackets anymore. It’s not Math & Literacy defined by one’s ability to do long divisional polynomials and identify the problematic grammar of some sub paragraph from a book from 1880s.

The reality is the testing and scores don’t reflect reality and everyone’s in arms over it instead of looking at the testing methodology.

But they do reflect ones ability to learn to get to the heights of education where you can be trusted to wield the new tools wisely.

Right… like a trained monkey to put the blocks in the hole. I have yet to see anyone wield tools wisely that requires higher education outside of CERN.
