Synopsis of Today's Topic:
Should we use our definition of excellence to decide others’ future, or should our views are being changed by others’ excellence of all kinds?
SAT, for example, brings convenience to the evaluation process, but it is not always reliable because people are different and some ability cannot be found by tests. The standardized test, to some extent, like the currency exchange rate which bridges countries and economy, brings a lot of convenience, but it will be the same as the exchange rate which brings not only convenience but financial crisis. When people put their judgments on these measures, they may be misled sometimes, and in terms of education, we will miss talents. What’s more, although it might be no effect for a school to miss a talent, it means different for the talent. So, there is no wrong to have such measures, but it is so wrong to rely completely on these measures.
