Family Tree by Signe Wilkinson for October 29, 2017

I am glad I avoided all those tests.

When all that is taught is to what’s on the test, there’s no thinking outside the box.

Hated the tests. Tired of such nonsense. Once purposely put down wrong answers and got called on the carpet.

I work in a cubicle farm, alongside people who went to better colleges, worse colleges, and no college at all. Some were, like me, valedictorians, some were dropouts—over achievers and barely-get-by-ers…we all took those tests.

We have become a nation of test takers. But, we rank #37 in the world in academic achievement. We’re 37, we’re 37!!!!!
