Brief Biographical Sketch:
Howdy everyone! My name is Wayne Zhang and I am a sophomore in Yale College currently undecided on a major (I have vacillated between Political Science; Ethics, Politics, and Economics; Environmental Studies; Geology and Geophysics; and English—gulp). My primary interests lie in journalism and education studies: two areas that Yale does not have majors for, but instead undergraduate programs. At Yale, I am a staff reporter for YTV at the Yale Daily News, teach a workshop (STIs and Contraception) at New Haven Public Schools as a Community Health Educator, am involved in Branford College Council, and am a varsity athlete on Yale’s Swimming/Diving Team. My hobbies include listening to the new Carly Rae Jepsen album way too often, watching How I Met Your Mother for the umpteenth time, and diving at the Kiphuth Exhibition Pool at Payne Whitney Gym.

E1859: "Why are we taking SO many tests?" — Education Reform and the Accountability Movement in Sprout Spring 16 (Feb. 13 - 27, 2016)
Let's face it: pretty much no one likes taking tests. At best, they're boring; at worst, they're stressful.
But recently, schools across the nation have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of tests administered, the amount of school time spent testing, and the range of subjects tested. A natural question from any student might be: why are we taking more tests? What do tests seek to measure? Why are they important? Are they important?
Discussion in this class will be centered around modern education reform, and the accountability movement—including things such as George W. Bush's "No Child Left Behind", and Barack Obama's "Race to the Top".
