Juanita and Nancy: I am reminded of a great line from a colleague some (many?) years ago. She was applying for a professional position and was asked "Can you type?" She replied, "No, but I can ice skate." He said: "What's ice skating got to do with it?" She said: "What's typing got to do with it?" She got the job. :>) Kathie -----Original Message----- From: Assessment Reform Network Mailing List [mailto:ARN-L@LISTS.CUA.EDU]On Behalf Of Juanita Doyon Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 10:32 AM To: ARN-L@LISTS.CUA.EDU Subject: Re: Edron, er, Edison in NY Times In a message dated 2/18/02 6:59:03 AM Pacific Standard Time, patter@VOYAGER.NET writes: Using a standardized test to measure how much a child has learned is like >evaluating a swimmer's performance by observing her washing her hands. > Well, I love it. Too bad it's too long for a button, but it's a great one liner for presentations. I'll add it to the collection as a quote from Nancy Patterson in Portland, MI, if that's okay with you.
