All of my essay exams require that they think and analyze in order to answer the question successfully…and it’s astonishing to see how few of them actually can do that (and sometimes they entertain me with the revisionist interpretations they provide when answering the questions). I know when I was in school (when you were) that we had standardized tests, and I think we have succeeded…of course, back then we also were expected to spell out words and not just write in “twitter.”
