[QUOTE="IllinoisssssssVarsity, post: 1544460, member: 747262"] I teach math in a heavily tested subject in a crazy test heavy state. I can take somebody who doesn’t know math and get them to pass the test by teaching them 3 tricks for the calculator based on about 5 key words. I happily do it because the testing amount is stupid and I don’t want it hanging over them for their entire high school career. The problem is I have to rush through the actual math curriculum to teach it all so even the kids who learn don’t learn it deeply enough. It’s awful imo once you get in college is a measure of how hard your willing to work and graduate degrees are a matter of how much more work you’re willing to do. I know plenty of people with masters degrees (in the education field no less!) who are not smart people. [/QUOTE]
