In all honesty, my wife just had to take the Praxis test to teach in our state. She was allowed to take it from our home with a test proctor watching her on the laptop camera. I was looking at the 100 questions that they were giving her and it had absolutely nothing to do with common knowledge or educational knowledge. It was more about students feelings, diversity and how to interact with those students and their parents. It truly was a complete joke. My wife has 2 masters degrees from another country and had trouble with this test.
I'm not for getting rid of the test, but they sure need to fix the content. I guess it has been infiltrated just like the rest of our country and system.
