America's School Boards:
Look into Your Hearts
and
Weep in Shame
Look into Your Hearts
and
Weep in Shame
I have never used
my Yale Divinity School
degree in the last 32 years since it was awarded in 1980, except at funerals
and weddings.
I thought I
would go to my grave having not found a "cause" which needed that degree.
And now that "cause" is
clear to me after retiring from twenty-five years as a Vermont public school teacher:
Children, especially “late bloomers” like
myself, who are being harmed by the
cruelty of “standardized testing” need a champion, one whose credentials are not
intimidated by the phonies who run the
U.S. Department of Education’s “Race to
the Top”, which tramples on those children every time it forces those kids to
take a standardized test and has the unmitigated gall to compare, analyze and
publish those kids and their “so called “achievements”
with other kids around the nation of the
same age and grade level who take the test.
