My classroom


A class with no tests

now that would be the best.

we could focus on learning and growing and who we want to be

instead of a grade on a paper being the only thing we see. 

We learn about graphing, factoring, ancient river valleys and other trash 

but we are never taught how to pay taxes or mortgage or apply for jobs to make cash. 

Schools don't care anymore about students and their stress and feelings and state of mind

they care about what the state is pushing and the stats they can produce and what new state law to be behind. 

Schools used to be fun and teach kids in creative ways

now test scores and stripping kids of their personality is all the big craze.
