Hot Take: Public education was originally designed to cultivate workers rather than thinkers, but the emphasis on standardized tests in modern education fails to achieve either goal. Because they tend to prioritize rote memorization and superficial learning over deep comprehension and problem-solving abilities. Additionally, the emphasis on standardized tests can create a narrow focus on subjects that are easily testable, potentially neglecting other crucial aspects of education such as creativity, innovation, emotional intelligence, and practical life skills.

If you’re having to ask the question - “am I an ally?” the answer is no. Allyship isn’t something you are, it’s something you do. If you’re doing it, you’ll know.
