For test publishers it's money. For politicians, it is votes. Johnson Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time. Sheridan I still have a dream.
Good assessment gives meaningful information to teachers as well as students.
Good assessment is not administered by the state or a private corporation representing it. My fear is that learning is becoming standardized. Learning and teaching is messy stuff. It doesn't fit into bubbles. It's the hand that carries the diploma that has real worth and meaning.
