Ah, the standardised test... Some years ago, one of my sons was stuck on an online biology test; two of the questions were nonsensical and others grammatically incorrect. I tried to help and noticed that, of the ten questions, two returned patently wrong answers. My son explained that he was frustrated by having to give a wrong or approved answer to get the required pass mark - and not just in biology. This is how institutionalised learning spreads falsehood and misinformation. I doubt very few parents spotted the problems I did, because they’d been schooled the same way. For the record, I’m now 60 and received a Grammar School education, earned by passing the old-style 11 Plus. When they took that system away, they didn’t do it because we were elitist snobs, but because that system taught its pupils to think for themselves.
