After my post, my friend Angela sent me this for a laugh. Dawn will especially love this, I know. And her Noah, would, because he loves him a standardized test (I’m not even kidding) but he’s homeschooled, so he doesn’t get tested as much as he would like! Dawn made me laugh yesterday because we talked about Gage and Noah swapping their schooling positions – Gage would be perfect for Dawn, well with his resistance to formal education, and her love of letting kids learn at their own pace with what their interests are and Noah would thrive at the brick and mortar school.

Go and see this.

This states the problem that is No Child Left Behind. I have strong feelings about why it doesn’t work and it pulls from other learning experiences kids need. Like…art, music and PE.
