Making the grades : my misadventures in the standardized testing industry / Todd S. Farley. - Sausalito, Calif. : [LaVergne, Tenn.] : PoliPointPress ; Distributed by Ingram Publisher Services, 2009. - 1 online resource (xi, 253 pages) - 0 . - 0. .
Wage slave. Scoring monkey -- Numbers -- The wheat from the chaff -- Off task -- Management. Table leader -- The oracle of Princeton -- The king of scoring -- A real job -- Retirement. My own private Halliburton -- Working in theory -- Warm bodies.
The No Child Left Behind Act uses the phrase scientifically-based research more than 100 times when discussing standardized testing, but Making the Grades raises serious questions about the validity of many large-scale assessments simply by describing one man's career in the industry. This first-hand account of life in the testing business is alternately edifying and hilarious.
