This is only a TEST…
While gulping down my peanut butter and jelly sandwich during lunch today, I decided to catch up on some blog reading. The clip below, along with the incredibly sad story told in this outstanding post by Wes Fyer seemed to be bookends to the darker themes in the realities of education. Both stories involve “tests”, and both involve tears. The CNN story will hit people with an obvious shaking of the head and questioning, “What were they thinking?!?” Unfortunately, I’m not sure the story of the boy in the assembly will receive the same outrage.
Sorry to bum you out… Read the CNN one first, and then Wes’ for he infuses his post with hope and a call to duty that helped expunge this bad taste I have… and I don’t mean the peanutbutter/jelly sandwich.

Wow, I hadn’t read that CNN article, Bob. That reminds me of a Dallas area teacher who actually showed the video of Nick Berg getting beheaded by terrorists in Iraq to his high school class. Very poor judgement….
