Azizi - I gues the larger point is, now that everyone's abilitiy is being measured through universal testing, what chance does a student have to score well, when the material he/she has been given to study has no relationship to the test? I'm not saying I think it's right, but that's the way it is, at least right now, and that student will find himself at an even greater disadvantage than he otherwise would.

                     Also, I looked to see if the books were produced by a major mainstream publisher, and they were. The whole thing speaks of a huge disconnect, but the victims are the students, it seems to me.
