Is it not a platitude that standardized tests can only 'quantify in a metric'?

True education has benifits that go beyond quantitative measuring. I agree with what you said,

Much as you said training is more or less the groundwork for education, so is it not so illogical to assume education can not exist without proper training? And if proper training can be assessed, even with rather crude 'metric' judgements such as standardized tests, should it not be?

There are two parts two education as I see it. Groundwork and Effort. Groundwork is a requirement of the educator. Effort is the requirement of the educatee.

I look at the diploma as certifying the groundwork is there, or at least that's how I feel a diploma should be. I see the need for regulation and standardized testing. I also see the flaws with current standardized tests, but this does not negate the need for a form of regulation.

Pardon the incoherency, I've taken a bad habit of writing past 3 am.
