I wonder how much was spent on testing products, materials, and staff needed to administer and report the test scores vs increasing true instructional time for students.
I think education has declined, in part, because someone thought we could to test them into being smarter.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon: "We've spent $1T since [1980] to educate students in our country and we've seen scores continually decline...As we're preparing to turn over control to the states, we can provide them with tools, research, and best practices to get scores up."

@BasicOrchid@OrchidPlantCare Ok…flower spike grew…beautiful flowers for quite a while…flowers died off, stem started dying, I left it alone instead of clipping back….and now this…. Do I leave it alone….add more stakes for stability….? It’s like having a newborn. 😬
@BasicOrchid@OrchidPlantCare Not very successful growing orchids, so I’m excited to have kept this one alive for almost a year. 😬 I thought I had a stem about a month or 2 ago, but turns out it is a root, I think (pic included). But could this one be an early stem? 🤞
14 years as a teacher + 13 years in administration ~ 6850 students impacted during my career. I hope 🤞 I made a positive difference. What are your numbers? #DifferenceMaker#teacher#myjobiscoolerthanyours
