Just So You Know

Teaching to the Test

So museum visits by school classes have been dropping so museums have been restructuring so that they too are teaching to the test according to an article on NPR

So what does it say when everything we do in school is teaching to the test. What ever happened to learning to discover or learning for learning's sake? Experimenting to determine one's boundaries is more important than rote learning. Children should learn to question in a safe environment but they should learn that questioning is important.
