[quote=Anonymous][quote]Such a smart response. And you are so right, IMO. There's huge rush for these radical standards and jacked up testing with NO PROOF that it will do anything.

The educational motto should also be "Do No Harm."[/quote]

Thanks!  I think you are smart too!  I'm a teacher.  Thank God we have each other out in the trenches.  The teachers and the students are what keep me going when I feel like the rest of the world is getting crazy.  My motto is "we can do this"!!

Something else that impressed me about the Ken Burns show last night was the woman named Mary Lasker (who was tireless in her support for cancer research).  She came from the same small town in Wisconsin where my father lives (and I grew up near there).  That was the first time I heard of her and I am just so, so proud of her and where I come from.  My mother taught me to "fight the good fight" (as her father had taught her) and that is a legacy far more important than money.  I just hope I can teach my students what is truly important in life . . . and these tests are not helping me to put the focus where it should be.  We are going to win this battle one way or another because we are fighting the good fight.  Good luck to you as we finish this school year.
