Isn't This A Sign of Our Times.

So it seems that a doctor is marketing a device to help relieve test anxiety. The Story, at http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006510/4/prweb365646.htm focuses on a silent alarm time management system. Nothing here about what one knows, just how to efficiently manage time so that one won't be so nervous about taking the high-stakes test. Something seems terribly wrong about this whole idea. This is symptomatic of our times where testing is far more important than knowing. It also recognizes a fact that among young people in our country there is a great deal of unnecessary stress related to test taking. When will it end?
