      As far as I can see is kinda hyperbole. Just did a brief search about “FORT test” and I’ve found several sites who let you try a similar test to train yourself: it’s a little more difficult than “can you read? - answer: YES/NO”. Actually I found those tests complex enough, even if english is not my mother language. This said, teachers of course need to be well trained for their job. Only, this FORT doesn’t seem a walk in the park to me. Long story short: misleading title.

      It’s not hyperbole, it’s patently false. The FORT test is a 4 hour professional exam for teaching literacy according to current science-based reading and common-core standards.

        I ended up reading the article and coming to the conclusion that FORT may not be a great assessment but I also haven’t looked at the test firsthand so I really can’t say for sure. I’ll go back to watching Ow My Balls now
