When We Worried About Something Different

There was a day when teachers did

not have to worry that their lives

would rely on a student's abilities.

Teachers wrote on whiteboards,

taught as others taught them

before. Knowledge was a vast

cavern that I could never

fully understand.

And that was okay.

Enter standardized testing.

Sit down.

Don't talk.

Test. Test. Test.

Stop.

Do not pass this page.
