[quote=Anonymous]Try to imagine how annoying it is to be really passionate about a subject and try to share that with young people and all they care about is "will this be on the test?" Maybe you want them to use the language creatively to write a poem or something but they will not spread their wings because they are too petrified of getting a B. Maybe you are telling them an interesting anecdote and they're ignoring you because "not on test". It would be very frustrating. I know the kids have to make As at all costs but it's not the teachers fault that they are now competing with the entire world to attend American college.[/quote]
