Testing For Intelligence

I think that the determination of what a child has learned shouldn't be base on a assessesment of a test. When they mandated the No Child Left Behind Act, I thought that was the worse thing they could have ever done. Children are different and every child doesn't learn the same way. This act made it harder in my opinion for teachers to teach. At the school I use to work at, it was all about MCT and thats what we had to prep the kids for constantly.This act purpose to just being able to just come up with your own form of testing to fit each child needs change teachers form of thinking and ways to teach their students. The information is already pretty much given to you and we would have to drill the students until they learned almost everything that wouldn't be given the test. In other countries such as China has the longest history of tests and examination  in the world. Today tests and examination are still the tools to assess educational outcome in China, and the scores of various tests are still used in many places as the sole determinant factors for promoting students into higher level of education or even grades. Based on such a way in educational assessment it is not surprised at what the educational system supplies would not necessarily meet the demand of labor markets.
