Testing the Success of Indoctrination

There has been an effective veto in relaxing the curriculum testing of children and it has been claimed that UK children are the most tested in the Western world. Subjecting children to testing has an obvious reason that is generally accepted as being the justification. Are the children learning, the children being 7, 11 and 14 year olds?

There is a more sinister side to this. Testing means asking questions and getting a written response about knowledge. The answer is either right or wrong. The information taught and the response must be identical to be correct. But what is a 'correct' answer? Who determines the 'correctness' of the responses.

This implies that accepted fact can be distorted. How do you know that historical facts are actually factual? The living example would be so-called 'spin':

'the distortion of the facts
to tell the real truth'

Usually, turned around (spun around) to reveal what really happened. Basically, tell a lie and if a lie is told often enough, it will be accepted as the truth.

So, the 'correct' solution that has been taught and subsequently tested for accuracy is simply the 'proof' that indoctrination of corrupted information is working. Brainwashing the young who grow up with beliefs that are planted.

Look to the effects of religion

This has been happening for centuries. Still endosed by FEAR (Factual Exchange for Accepted Reasoning). If you do the 'correct' action you will be right and live a happy and contented life, but if you do the 'incorrect' action you will be wrong and hounded for ever or put in prison until you mend your ways. Consider this or this or...

Logical? But 'spin' it around:

'correct' = lie
'incorrect' = truth

Look around carefully. What do you see? How do you view or test what is true or false?
