Jersey Jazzman: Standardized Tests: Symptoms, Not Causes
Maybe we'd allow children to become themselves and realize their full potentials, free of the fear that their "failure" will inevitably banish them to a life of toil and misery. Maybe we'd start to see schooling not as preparation for a life of stepping on our fellow citizens, and instead as a process by which we become a people who balance our own self-interest with caring for our fellow citizens.
And then maybe we wouldn't feel the need to make these bell curves at all.
