Of course. Testing always appears to work, if there is no reliable way to measure the measurements. It's not specific to testing students. If you benchmark on your bug count, it will go down, but there is no reason to believe quality will improve. Regarding the over-performers in school, I've always had this idea that they should help teach in some way. It can give meaning to bored children in a way that few other things can. |

"how can children, still learning themselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids. The benefits of this practice were indicated by a pair of articles published in 2007 in the journals Science and Intelligence. The studies concluded that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born brothers and sisters and suggested that their higher IQs result from the time they spend showing their younger siblings the ropes."
