B. Sequence of Events:
On Monday, the students had a test on Chapter 7: Nutrition for Life. Mr. Cook mentions to me that his 3rd period did not do well on the test. Mr. Cook grades the students’ test as they turn it in. After he finished grading the test he asks the students did they study. Mr. Cook said that he does not understand why the students why the students did not do well because they had four extra days to study and the test was just like the study guide. Mr. Cook even shows me the test and the study guide. The test and study guide were exactly the same, he just changed the letter of the answer choices. Mr. Cook had to curve the test grades because he had students making 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s. In some of his other class periods, the class averages for the chapter 7 test are 71%, 68%, 72%, and 81% …show more content…

Some of the students said that they only remembered the letter answers to questions instead of remembering the actual answer to the questions. Mr. Cook said that they would go over the test on Tuesday before they start next lesson. Mr. Cook is also going to send the test home with the students so their parents can see them and so they can sign them. He will also make a note in INOW that the test grades were curved. On Friday, the students started a new lesson Chapter 8 Section 3: Eating Disorders. The students’ schedule was off today because of the Powder Puff Football game that they are going to have after school.

Finally, Pollan concludes that with the relentless focus nutritionism places on nutrients and their interplay distinctions between foods become irrelevant and abandoned.

She regards the policy on standardized testing as “outrageous” and the test itself as “perpetual”, “strenuous”, and “bias” to convey her feelings and those of other students toward standardized testing.
