I think children are better off making a few mistakes but finding their way to solving a problem, rather then doing 20 homework questions to beat down the process into their brain.

Come on. I know you're not saying this about math, so I'll skip that, but even a subject like english has good reason for testing. Look at the garbage spelling and grammar on this very board.
And Social Studies? Again, just look at some of the political threads on this board to see why kids should be tested and failed for not understanding squat.
Kids are creative enough. Look at the funny pics thread. The only problem in there is the atrocious spelling.
