    TAAS is an undependable multiple choice "scantron" test. George W's little
    dirty secret regarding the increased test scores, is that they have quietly
    be lowering the standards. A couple of newsmagazines and TV news shows have
    reported on this, but it didn't turn into a big story. Also this type of
    test is very easy for a certain learning style, but do not translate into
    real knowledge that can be applied in real life.
