The JOY of learning

How to kids learn how to read? By reading and having others read to them and talk about what they read.

How to kids learn how to write? By writing and reading books and have someone respond to their writing in a positive way.

How many high-stakes tests did you take when you were in school?

Today, our kids are being tested to death. All this testing puts kids in boxes and kills creativity.

Down with high-stakes testing. Costs too much money and does no good.

If this country continues down this test and punish regime, pretty soon we will have a nation of BORGS...perfect for a fascist government.
