Standardized Minds: The High Price of America's Testing Culture and What We Can Do to Change ItWe've been told time and time again that standardized tests aren't perfect but that they're the best tool we have for gauging aptitude and achievement. Is this really true? What are the flaws of such testing? Why is your father's occupation a better predictor of SAT scores than virtually any other factor? And, most important, what can we do to hold one another accountable to standards at all levels of schools and in the workplace? Standardized Minds
We've been told time and time again that standardized tests aren't perfect but that they're the best tool we have for gauging aptitude and achievement. Is this really true? What are the flaws of such testing? Why is your father's occupation a better predictor of SAT scores than virtually any other factor? And, most important, what can we do to hold one another accountable to standards at all levels of schools and in the workplace?Standardized Minds dramatically shows how our unhealthy and enduring obsession with intelligence testing affects us all, from the day we enter kindergarten to the day we apply for that corporate job. Drawing creative solutions from the headlines and the frontlines, Sacks demonstrates proven alternatives to such testing and details a plan to make the American meritocracy legitimate and fair.Binding Type: Paperback

Highly recommend!
Format: Hardcover
It’s almost November and I told my husband that I don’t want to get to the end of this devotional book. I may repeat it in 2026. It’s the best I’ve ever had and the only one I have ever continued through this whole year. I have texted screen shots a few times to share her words and scripture to someone in my family. (Hope that”s legal.) I always get a positive response thanking me. My granddaughter now has this book also.

Best thing I purchased on Amazon thus far!
Format: Hardcover
Going into my second year with this devotional and it is my absolute favorite! I’ve bought plenty devotionals over the years. I love how this one is not marked by the year so all I have to do is look at what day it is and read! Each page is filled with such a thoughtful word and scripture to back up her amazing wisdom! I’ve sent pages to my mom & sister to read. I read them to my kids and husband sometimes. They love it!! I had to come back and give my review bc I need everyone to know just how much I love this devotional. My only wish is that I could be more consistent with each day. But I do love that EVERYTIME I need it, it’s there ready for me to pick up. It’s perfect!! I’ve been struggling for years to figure out how to connect more with God on a regular basis. I am truly grateful for Joyce! My father raised me on her sermons & teachings and I will forever be thankful! This book is a GEM! God bless ❤️

Thankful
Format: Hardcover
This devotional is exactly what I needed on a day to day bases. It provides scriptures and references for the specific devotional. Very relatable and leaves me feeling refreshed. I also bought it as a baptism gift for a good friend of mine.
