The job of a teacher isn’t to raise test scores, but rather to create lifelong learners and active participants and citizens in our democracy. Stephen Covey once remarked, “Reducing children to a test score is the worst form of identity theft we could commit in schools.” I am not a number; I am a human being. It’s time to finally acknowledge the national testing experiment has not only failed miserably, but has gone haywire. We need to end this inappropriate high-stakes testing regime.
