People criticize my posts, but is there any substance to any of this post? All this post says, is "I don't like what you say and your argument is ideological." Is there any analysis, evidentiary support, or even a linear argument to back up any of these claims? Has this changed from the discussoin board to the emotional venting board?



If you take out the word "testing" and changed it with "abortion" you would never know that this statement wasn't about abortion. In other words, there is absolutely nothing in this post that differentiates if from an unsubstantiated harangue about any possible political subject.



Are we just supposed to take your word for it? Are you going to say anything to back up your claim? Again, you could substitute the word "social promotion" with incidents of assaults on abortion doctors and you would never know that this was a discussion about education. You could slap this criticism on any post made on this board, and its effect would always be the same. It would simply show that GGG doesn’t like your argument and thinks it is faulty. Why don’t you try and, I don’t know, maybe tell us something substantive, instead of what we could already surmise: that you are not going to agree with the post.



Any argument to support this? Any evidence of my genuflecting? Any evidence of why my reliance on annual testing is misplaced? Any evidence or logical analysis to support the idea that tests don’t actually help that much, or cause damage? Thanks for sharing GGG, but now that you have vented is there anything intelligent you would like to say?


Adder made this claim about my posts “The whole stupid exchange is because you showed up, proclaimed truth, intentionally implied that there was no ambiguity in what you were saying, and made proposterous assertions of fact.”

Adder, doesn’t this criticism really apply to this post by GGG?

You missed the punchline. The whole point of the post was the punchline. The rest was just color.
