[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 56573"] dBoy, You have me a bit confused. You quote (without credit) Jenks and Phillips, who are the authors of[i] The Black-White Test Score Gap[/i]. They assert that there is bias in testing, in fact they devote an entire chapter too it, yet you say there isn't any. Why don't you give their book a read? This is a very complicated issue, that can't be summed up by your usual racial prejudices. You never did provide any questions from the test, or even the format. As usual you just provide conclusions based on your assumptions, which have no basis in reality. You say things like: [i]The case might have merit, but the test not being fair is a crock. That is always the first thing they go for when they really lack much substance is that the tests are not fair[/i] You have personal knowledge of the test, and what it is testing for? You must, because you emphatically claim that it is fair. Who is 'they'? Are 'they' a racial group? Read the book you quoted out of context and didn't bother to reference to. The authors know more about the subject than anyone here. As I asked before: Youve seen the test that is in question? You know for a fact that it is a true/false, multiple choice test? What is a sample question? You really believe that a school in Newark has the same resources and environment as one in rural E. Tennessee? [/QUOTE]
