      I always remember Nick Cage’s line from Snake Eyes when local cops tell him he can’t force a stadium full of people to wait in line and give testimony one by one:

      “Yes I did, and yes I can!”

    Almost as clever as it is brazen.

      That book destroyed me. My teacher had us read it in like 5th grade.

        Yup, turns patriotism on it’s head a bit too, which is why I can see a lot of the modern day objections from the right.

      It’s so good because the title spoils the ending, so you know it’s coming the whole time and it’s still devastating.

    A real teacher would give her points for original thinking.

      Not really, no actual teacher would do that.

      Yeah! I think out of the box thinking should be valued but I wouldn’t give points for it.

      I’d tell the student that I thought it was clever and give them another chance to answer it.

      If they don’t know the answer, hopefully they would have looked it up.

      Teachers don’t teach to educate, they teach to the test.

      If it’s on the test you learn about it if it’s not on the test you don’t learn about it. This results in Americans who think that Australia is in Europe. Because the test never asks the question, they never learned the answer.

      There is no room for original thought in that system. If one has the capacity for independent thought that’s something they had despite education not because of it.

        Teachers hate teaching to the test. I can’t tell you how much they hate it and are forced to do it

        Because capitalism needs to quantify, tests do that free thinking doesn’t.

        Sadly, you’re right.

        Thankfully, it’s not 100% true.

        I had a seldom few teachers that really cared about me and left a positive impression on me as a student. So I model my teaching style after how loved they made me feel and how much I learned from them as a result. My students and their parents greatly appreciate me. Schools (coughbusinesses selling educationcough) can barely tolerate me.
