We have truly gone off the rails in way too many areas of this country.
Punishing children. Worshipping at the altar of “all testing, all the time,” despite the damage that will do to children.
All in the name of, let us face it, not “higher standards,” but privatization of public schools and profits for the testing, software, curriculum-development, charter school industries, and the rest of the Education-Industrial Complex. 😦
