Notes:

The standardized testing movement in the schools may be the product of educational research but our growing reliance on these tests is scientifically shortchanging the education system and the nation. We need to raise the standards of accountability for research and education so that we are working from a far more complete and diverse picture at creating a democratic and educated society.
