Pros and Cons of Teaching to the Test

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 1, 2010
Earlier this year, we collaborated with the Vote 18 Political Literacy Project, which looked to engage Pace High School students in the mayoral election. Education was a hot topic, and in particular the question of how much NYC schools should rely on standardized testing. Christopher Malone, associate professor of political science at Pace University, is organizer of the project. He's joined by Quincy Adonis and Melanie Lugo, two Pace High School students who participated in the project.
