Nader says SAT fails to test students
PORTLAND (AP) — Standardised,
multiple-choice testa are causing U S. educa
tion itself to become standardized, consumer
activist Ralph Nader says.
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SATJ does
not test students* aptitude, judgment, ex
perience and wisdom, Nader told the
Northwest regional council of the National
Council of Teachers of English on Sunday.
Nader said the SAT also fails to test
students* idealism, imagination, persistence,
stamina and creativity
Nader was critical of the New jersey-based
Educational Testing Service, which distributes
the SAT. Colleges use SAT scores to help
determine whether a student has the potential
for academic success.
Because the service is a non-profit, tax
exempt service, it has an unregulated monopo
ly on student testing nationwide, he said.
In addition. Nader said, students who
prepare for the SAT are not required to analyze
or criticize life around them !■ .
"Students can go through 16 years -of
education and at the end they don't know
anything about negotiating their dollars in an
economy for health, safety and economic
value; they know nothing about studying City
Mali; they know nothing about how to
negotiate their civic rights through a process of
change and challenge in the government. They
know nothing about anything that counts."
Nader said
Me suggested that tear hers start a "civic
skills" curriculum, "so by the time they get
out of high school, (students) have some of the
civic skills that are indelible in their own out
of-school experience as well as what they
learned in books and what they observed in the
courts and in the legislature.
He urged educators to spend time with
their students to develop talents that cannot be
displayed in a multiple-choice test.
