Response to Dr. Strange's No "BurpBack" Education

This concept of teaching our children how to think sounds like a wonderful idea. I am on board with this fact that our young children need to be taught how to think. But how do we track that progress without tests. Is Dr. Strange advocating no tests or just simply challenging the accepted form of tests? Test how students think would require harder test for them. It may force some to step up but it also might force some students to step out. Schools should not be the only place educating our children, families and communities were our children live need to have some skin in the game as well. Too many time our children are looked on as inconvenient little humans that we must tolerate and thus are treated as second class citizens, abused and neglected. We all need to look upon these sweet face and see the future of our families, communities and our nation. This perspective will go far in how our children are taught in our schools as well as in the communities.
