I agree. I went to a public school where my class completely passed the PSSA test for No Child Left Behind. I think they basically said we teach skills that can be applied towards the tests our students take.
Either way I did well on a test that I thought was a complete joke. The SAT was a different matter. I never did very well on the math section,but reading and writing were my strong points.
It's pretty funny to know that because both my grammar and spelling have generally been pretty poor as of late.
