Barry Lane's Musical Response to Students and High Stakes Testing: More Than a Number

Written by Janelle Bence
June 22, 2012

Wow! I have been doing so much thinking about the effects of too much emphasis on testing on students. I know. So many people have discussed it. So many more people will discuss it. But, it doesn’t hurt to continue this important discourse. These important discussions coupled with action are the only way to transform education into what our students deserve.

Please listen to Barry Lane’s tune. Share it. Discuss it. Keep the dreams alive.
