How to make the world a better place through emotional literacy education and teaching compassion.
The latest strategy of politicians is to put pressure on teachers, parents and students by requiring national standardized testing. I have one simple question to ask. Why does every child need to be the same? When in fact, it is this overuse of testing that has already destroyed the mental lives of millions of children. Testing does this by making those who don't do well in tests feel like failures. It causes them great harm by inflicting on them unnecessary mental pain which leads to depression. It is in this way that we create future clients for the criminal justice system, and occupants of commercialized prisons
