I loved how this chapter compared our schools to profitable corporations and talked about how measuring success on a test may seem like measuring monetary profit, yet it falls short. We measure success by this test (usually just one!) that then accordingly assigns worth to the student and the teacher and ultimately the school. One test? One method? On one day or week? How can this be reliable?
We need to create intellectual communities in our schools, places in which students are motivated to talk and think. That's where they formulate their opinions and deepen their thinking. I agree!!!
Next chapter: talk. My favorite!!!
