"READING TEST DUMNIES"

Um artigo de opinião publicado no "New York Times" de hoje da autoria de E. D. Hirsch Jr., o autor do conhecido livro "The Schools We Need and Why We Don't Have Them" (1996) contra o romantismo educativo, começa assim:

"In his recent education speech, President Obama asked the states to raise their standards and develop “assessments that don’t simply measure whether students can fill in a bubble on a test.” With the No Child Left Behind law up for reauthorization this year, the onus is now on lawmakers and educators to find a way to maintain accountability while mitigating the current tendency to reduce schooling to a joyless grind of practice exams and empty instruction in 'reading strategies.' "
