>>12298025The problem is not that 100% of kids pass standardized tests, it's that they are too often able to do so with effectively 0 effort.
When 50% of your primary school class is in the "90th percentile", and the socially stunted "3SL" Romanian immigrant scores a 4.0 on the English section, the whole thing reeks of bullshit.
From personal experience, it just seems like these "standardized tests" could be a lot harder whilst still maintaining high passage rates.
