JB>>But TESTING is just a way of making nervous wrecks and/or failures out of people like me. <<
My best friend informs me that back in the 70's when they were trying to convert the US to the Metric system, that he walked to school in a cold sweat on test day. When you make such a Big Event out of the measurement phase of education, inevitable drama will ensue, and there are people who handle that better than others. It's a pity the educational system has no analog to the Software Industry's Continuous Deployment concept to reduce the level of risk in testing.
Stephen>>It gets worse as you get older. High School and College were all about grades. <<
I had a College Calc Prof who told the class (only half jokingly) that "You are not here to learn, you are here to get good grades."
