Very good, you're said it, we're supposed to be teaching to the diversity of our students while teaching from a restrictive, narrow and non creative curriculum and yet the diversity of the teachers has been lost. Here on youtube, I saw a video called "We are Robots" with the children one after another saying this into the camera. I think another video should be presented, this time with we teachers, for truly, we have become robots. Thanks for the post.

This woman hits the nail right on the head! Too bad she can't hit George Bush and the other nitwits who thought up/implemented NCLB right on the head too. The kids are suffering from this ridiculous "test driven mentality" and good teachers are leaving/changing their profession because everything is being run by big business and people who have NO freaking idea on how to actually TEACH a child. Bravo for your courage to speak out Jane!
