Great, inspiring post. I live in a poor community. I don’t want my grandchild to be trained to take a state exam to add a percentage point to his name. He’s capable of so much more than one standardized test.

Yes. This is exactly it. Our children - and grandchildren - are not statistics. They’re souls, creators, thinkers, dreamers. I’m so grateful you shared this. He is capable of so much more, and he deserves an education that sees that. We’re dreaming a better system into being, one child at a time.
