First, after 42 years as an educator and 16 as a school board member, I no longer recognize my profession. People who have never taught, or have been out of the classroom too long to remember teaching’s complexity, now control the institution. Education policy makers, who wouldn’t dream of telling surgeons how to wield a scalpel or telling pilots how to land an airliner, seem perfectly comfortable dictating rigid guidelines for teachers. Second, the push to standardize has gotten out of control. ... Finally, it’s the drive to test, test, and re-test that leads me to conclude that it’s time for me to do more to change this agenda.
