Our Children's Grim Future

Our children are being prepared, through relentless testing, now beginning as early as pre-K, for a world in which they are constantly going to be observed, monitored, evaluated, and measured in every dimension of their life, a world with little privacy, and shrinking opportunity. What is happening to their teachers is what awaits them in almost every occupation they choose to enter. If we don't resist now, if we don't stop the test machine in its tracks, their futures will be grim. I wish I thought otherwise.... but the handwriting is on the wall.
