"[Standardized tests] are not an inevitable part of 'life' or even a necessary part of school; they are a relatively recent invention that gets in the way of our kids' learning. Their impact is deep, direct, and personal. Every time we judge a school on the basis of a standardized test score—indeed, every time we permit our children to participate in these testing programs—we unwittingly help to make our schools just a little bit worse." Alfie Kohn
