No one typically knows how they learn best. That's why we have them take a test.

Yeah, honestly, I don't trust standardized tests anywhere near enough to be 100% behind you on this. But seeing as I don't have a real alternative, I guess that'd be sorted as it went on.

I see no reason to separate them into different schools. Do you?

Absolutely not. Honestly, I think a proposal of that stupid magnitude would just kill the whole thing in the womb.

I think it would be best to start with solidly one way or the other all the time, and once we do that well, then we can start customizing the learning methods on a more granular level.

This, I agree wholeheartedly with - if not for simply logic's sake; however, does require some consideration of the way we train and select teachers and curriculum and I, at this point, run the risk of digging a hypothetical hole for myself, so thanks for humoring me here, but I've run out of hypotheticals to throw your way, and shall bid you farewell. If you wish to continue this thought experiment, though, I'm still open to speaking.

Okay, I guess I didn't suspect that I had to specify this. But in the sense of standardized tests for education, I don't have a history of trusting most of them, considering the fact that despite being otherwise well off academically, I have know too many to fall prey to ST's at the elementary to high school and college levels.

Standardized tests for something like medical health and eye-sight assessments serve a more blanket purpose, and are not limited by the participant's perception and understanding of "general" knowledge. In this case, I understand that these tests are not of the exact vein as the ones I so openly despise, but even then I don't feel so good trusting a (I'm guessing mostly written) test developed by a committee of parents and teachers. I also don't trust committees, but that's another discussion altogether.

So, no I, even as a child, wouldn't and didn't trust some test developed for - I was so certain - the torture of and bureaucratic weeding out of children as potential coal miners or fast food employees. Please excuse my sarcastic conclusion here, but I have very little personal faith in the modern school system (Despite the fact it's possibly the best it's been ever - save for lunches, those suck nowadays).

I hope that clears things up.
