Additional Information: This quote is from educator Diana Laufenberg's 2010 TED Talk in which she shares three things she's learned about teaching. The quote means that multiple choice tests -- the method of testing favored in most high school and college classes -- do not promote learning. In real life, says Laufenberg, there is more than "one right answer." Watch the full TED Talk here: Diana Laufenberg - How to Learn? From Mistakes
