MS>CB> Do we get quality graduates? No--testing does not produce
MS>CB> quality,  testing 
MS>CB> only finds defects.
MS>    Every other producer tests its product before selling it, be the 
MS>product cars or computers.  Those manufacturers think testing

Kids are not products....they are not for sale.....and for many 
reasons...regardless of the same "quality" on the production 
line....kids come out the other end very different from a manufactured 
good.  I am not a producer of a "thing."  I am an educator of an 
individual.  Things on the assembly line or production line don't have 
feelings...they don't come from abusive home situations....or from good 
families...or whatever......Education is different because human beings 
are different......
