Prez can’t believe the pointlessness of teaching test questions, and wonders how it will ever assess how much the kids are learning. Grace explains they’re not really assessing the kids – if the scores go up, the school administration can say the schools are improving. Prez realizes he’s been here before; they’re “juking” stats, just like in the police department. “Making robberies into larcenies. Making rapes disappear. You juke the stats and majors become colonels.”
Season 4 – Episode 9.
