Teaching to the Test Harms Students

And we don’t want a society with standardized minds — Standardized tests are only useful for measuring standardized minds. However, humans are not standardized, nor do we want them to be.

Our Last Mourning

Poetry Sunday — The last morning I saw you, I found the strength to set a firm boundary. I knew the time had come for me to stop accepting your lies and lack of accountability. Remember your post that day? You said we were both broken, and that I didn’t know I was…
