    1. Good insights about testing. Most every Baby Boomer who has tested knows the tricks and work-arounds of multiple choice questions (I have absolutely no idea how or IF kids are tested these days…might make them feel “disincluded” or hurt their self esteem).

      My wife was a professor of nursing in the midwest, and started her students out from day one developing critical thinking skills, which are the backbone of a nurse’s practice. There was no guessing on her exams, she patterned them on the NCLEX, the exam every student must pass to become licensed.

      She taught to three levels: General knowledge, usually multiple choice; analysis and application, which may or may not be multiple choice; and the most difficult which require you to apply facts, processes and rules in order to answer them.

      All contain some right and wrong components. The questions are phrased as “which is the BEST answer.” It’s well nigh impossible to guess, as only a thorough knowledge of the systems, interrelations, conflicts and standards of care can give you the most suitable outcome.

      These open questions made up over 95% of her tests and none of her students ever failed their NCLEX on the first attempt.

      When she was in the hospital, many of her former students wanted to care for her. They all told her in one way or another how grateful they were for her tough approach. In the real world no one cares how well you can guess on a test- its about how you perform.

  1. Excellent series.

    I often wonder how many government school career councilors have asked, ‘Have you considered becoming a gunsmith?’ Yea right…

    It might be common in the Redoubt but even here there seems to be a shortage of gunsmiths.
