Is There Education After the Test?
Add a Comment
by Erica Jacobs, Education Examiner
Of course for teachers, the class is about far more than the test. My column in Monday's DC Examiner is about how student/teacher expectations differ, and about our respective definitions of "education." The unfortunate truth is that most teachers give up along with the students at the end of the year. No one's watching, the test is over, and everyone's looking forward to summer. I think this resignation is sad, and try to fight it somewhat---perhaps only with partial success.
