@sapinker@BostonGlobe Started out great, but the linked ETS stuff is pure propaganda. Their testing = proven inefficient and clumsy. -
@Sturgeons_Law@sapinker@BostonGlobe propaganda for who? We don't have a vested interest in@ETSCorporate -
@AceThatTest@sapinker@BostonGlobe@ETSCorporate I'm not suggesting you're propagandizing. That was directed at the info provided by ETS. -
@AceThatTest@sapinker@BostonGlobe However, I do think you engage in significant straw-manning of ST critics by ignoring more potent args -
@AceThatTest@sapinker@BostonGlobe and presenting critics as simply wholesale opposed, ignoring more nuanced worries. -

@Sturgeons_Law@sapinker Your point about nuance is well taken. It's an edited piece; mainstream media is not a great vehicle for nuance. -
@AceThatTest@sapinker Yeah, didn't mean to imply you were doing that on purpose, either, so sorry if it came off that way. Agree re: media. -
@Sturgeons_Law@AceThatTest@sapinker thanks for that :) we have been doing our best learning how to outreach. It's our passion

@sapinker@BostonGlobe@AceThatTest Yes, it is a nice piece. There is more to the subject, however. Or should I say: regrettably?#abuse -
@benwilbrink@sapinker@BostonGlobe yes, so much more. We were limited for space (and then it was cut even more) -
@AceThatTest So it goes ;-) (free after Kurt Vonnegut)@sapinker@BostonGlobe -
@AceThatTest For me (and others) a dilemma: criticism of standardized tests is absolutely necessary, it is not absolute however ;-)@sapinker
