Giles Auty: Teaching is failing the test - Classrooms and lecture theatres are being increasingly politicised - February 03, 2006
Did someone mention that dreaded T-word - testing? In almost every other sphere of human activity, the value of testing is happily acknowledged. I certainly experienced my full share of being tested during my distant schooldays.
If the experience of having to compete regularly taught me anything, it was to grow sceptical of many of the more frequently encountered excuses for failure. There could even be a lesson here for today's crop of educational theorists.
Giles Auty is a former art critic for The Spectator and The Australian.
