Let's Talk About Testing

Recently,

Adrian Neibauer

wrote a reflective piece about his experience with standardized testing that began with these words: I’m a hypocrite.

In today’s episode of The Broken Copier, he shares more about the conversation with his own children that resulted in these words—along with the myriad, contradictory feelings he has about testing in this current moment.

Also: how do you feel as a teacher when it comes to standardized testing? Feel free to answer in the Substack comments or, if you’re inspired, to leave an audio message via Fanlist that we may respond to on a future episode.
