In spite of their remarkable progress, 19
th-century American farmers experienced recurring
periods of hardship. Several basic factors were
involved -- soil exhaustion, the vagaries of
nature, a decline in self-sufficiency, and the
lack of adequate legislative protection and aid.
Perhaps most important, however, was
over-production. Along with the mechanical
improvements which greatly increased yield per
hectare, the amount of land under cultivation grew
rapidly throughout the second half of the...

Teachers And Students Standardized Tests
809 words
"Teaching to the test" does not increase student
capabilities and knowledge. This depends on
whether the test is good. For multiple-choice
tests, "teaching to the test" means focusing on
the content that will be on the test, sometimes
even drilling on test items, and using the format
of the test as a basis for teaching. Since this
kind of teaching to the test leads primarily to
improved test-taking skills, increases in test
scores do not necessarily mean improvement in real
academic performance....
