Education a test?

Education should not be just a concern about test scores. If the students are learning the content and understand what is being taught, that is all that really matters. The whole system of scoring people with a grade is pointless because a kid can be a good student but not do any work. Leaving the student with a bad grade even though he had learned the content. Also test scores classify people all wrong. For example in Spanish class, a person does not need know how to speak Spanish to pass the class, all they have to do is memorize the conjugations. Then get As on the tests without learning any of the content. This proves the point that test scores do not reflect if a student has learned anything at all. The person just learns the content for the test then forgets it the next day. Students are not to blame for this because they merely work the system to their advantage. Kids if given the opportunity to, will choose the easiest way of doing things. So the education system should change to help teach students not test them.
