“In the midst of all this is the unfortunate teacher whose passion for learning and motivation for teaching is brought captive to tests and exams that control the destiny of her students and herself as well! As Alfie Kohn has stated, “Every hour that teachers feel compelled to try to raise test scores is an hour not spent helping kids become critical, creative, curious thinkers.”

“This sense of responsibility might be better framed in light of the teacher’s and child’s high calling in their vocation.
