Bad score. Challenging standardized testing
Description
In this video, Dan Rather examines the standardized testing industry, interviewing college graduates who worked as temporary test scorers for the few large companies that produce millions of standardized tests and then hire workers to score them in factory-like conditions, and Todd Farley, a man who has worked in the industry for fifteen years. These individuals are speaking out against the unfair and inaccurate method of evaluating students' intelligence and the impact that these practices have on schools.
