Testing, Testing

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Students, schools, and teachers are often judged by their standardized test scores. What do tests like the MCAT and the SATs really measure, and how often are they misunderstood and misused? Also: hear the story of the small-time Dutch painter who successfully forged Vermeers. Independent filmmaker David Gordon Green. And former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel talks about his long political career devoted to fighting the rise of American militarism.

We're hosting another FREE Lopate Show film screening on Monday, August 4! We'll be watching the 1972 film "The Candidate." Seats are limited, so RSVP soon. Find out more.
