My name be Eboneesha, an African-American girl who just got an award for being the best speler in class. I got 57% on the speling test and 30 points for being black, 10 points for not bringing drugs into class, 10 points for not bringing guns into class, and 10 points for not getting pregnut during the cemester. It hard to beat a score of 120%. The white dude who sit next to me is McGee from the Bronx. He got a 94% on the test but no extra points on account of he have the same skin color as the opressirs of 150 years ago. Granny ax me to thank all Dimocrafts and Liberels for suporting afermative action. You showing the way to true equality. I gwine be gittin in medical skool nex an mabe I be yo doktor.
I don't think there is a bias at all in tests. We had this talk in sociology about math tests with boys and girls, but I honestly think they give the same tests. Not only do they give the same tests but they don't expect certain people or races to do better. As for the damage to education? Sure, everything is damaging to our education. But I honestly feel there are bigger things damaging to America's learning techiniques. I realize standardized tests are important especially with this new OGT thing we have here, but how many people actually take them seriously? I know I didn't and I still passed with proficient levels in multiple courses. So I can see your argument, but I can fight it too.
