Spot on. Since we've been homeschooling, education has become an enjoyable experience once more with the exception of mandated standardized testing. I'm glad that California put a pause on the CAHSEEs because from personal experience, it just doesn't serve a real world practical need. Too many questions are just worded so poorly and often designed to trick students. I've been through the public school system and did quite well. I'm glad not to be forcing someone's antiquated testing and grading philosophies in our home now.
