      I think the most damaging thing I learned in school was that the “right answer” would always be something I had been specifically taught that didn’t require all that much thinking for myself. Wtf. I consciously unlearned it in college, but subconsciously I’m still not sure...https://twitter.com/William_Blake/status/1203348802679083008 …

      This is where he loses me. Maybe the deal is that I went to a good school (I did). But my experience of k-12 was that the kids who did well on the tests pretty much all understood the material they were being tested on. Anyone else?https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1203380537408327682?s=20 …

      It's a bit of both. A TON of tests are also reasoning-skills based. You can't hack them if you know nothing, but you can pass a lot of tests using tenuous knowledge that more rigorous tests would catch. Multiple choice is often an exercise in "which one is the most different"?

      I had very few multiple choice tests in school!

      W mostly had to write essays for history tests, and you could kind of BS it, but IME also kind of not. And there wasn’t a good way to do well on the math tests or physics tests without knowing how to do the problems. I think my update is my k-12 school had good tests.

      That's how it ought to be done, but that's the exception, not the norm in my experience. I was very much an outlier when I opted against multiple choice on tests at my school.

      Went to middling quality public schools—multiple choice was the norm in most classes, and even more so in advanced classes (honors, AP, etc.) that had to teach a state/nationally designed curriculum
