<<School becomes ever more about getting ready for tests, taking them, and then getting ready for the next round. And the fun and joy of learning as something of value in and of itself just keeps leaking out the door>> Yes, I'm sure seeing some of that with my own grandchildren, all of whom are bright and were well-prepared to enter school. They're sent home with so much more homework than I or my kids were. Even in first and second grade---a constant stream of worksheets. Math worksheets that attack simple addition and subtraction from more angles than I knew were possible. So much repetition drains them and cuts into the after school time for casual sports, hobbies and idle reading. I don't like it at all.
