I think the emphasis on testing has been horrible. Just discovered I had not responded to this post. Like the previous post which I liked, I also like this one. I'm very much of the same mind. What troubles me the most about teaching to tests is that it basically misunderstands the whole point of education. But we are clearly passing through one of those cultural moments that we should hope and pray will not hang around very long. And remember that education, k-12 and higher education as well, is filled with teachers like yourself who understand the real point is to expand potential and horizons, to understand the human spirit, to see the best and worst in our shared history and learn how to distinguish between the two.
