In the spirit of Summerhill, Lyn Lesch's Our Results-Driven Testing Culture: How It Adversely Affects Students' Personal Experience offers a contemporary narrative of one school whose instruction, assessment, and design are unconventional by today's standards....This glimpse, a keen reminder of the importance of alternative perspectives and the once-lauded progressive tradition, makes Our Results-Driven Testing Culture: How it Adversely Affects Students' Personal Experience a worthwhile read., Lyn's work makes a persuasive argument not only for a closer analysis of the current results driven educational structures and how they contain children's genuine experience of learning and exploratory thinking, but also gives a credible case for the development of a more experience-based teaching philosophy and approach., In an effort to meet the shallow performance demands of recent school legislation, parents and teachers have too often sacrificed what they know to be the best interests of their children for better scores. [Lesch] starts with a view of children and their possibilities that leads him to very different conclusions., Lesch's dedication to truth and children's experiences, and his profound questioning of the meaning of healthy and significant education for our youth, have led him to develop an important and interesting work that society needs to see., I believe that, as time goes on, Lyn's views on education, though not now on many people's radar screens, will become increasingly significant. He sees so clearly into the minds of young people that I often chuckle at how I could have missed such simple truths., If we are to have a conversation about the path we have chosen for our schools, voice's like Lyn Lesch's will be crucial. As a teacher, I hope that his voice can be heard and we can truly begin to debate the future of education., Lyn Lesch adds his important voice to an essential question haunting contemporary education: What is the cost of our accelerating test-driven school culture to children's learning and development? He brings a fresh perspective to the discussion as a parent, engaged citizen, deinstitutionalized scholar, public school teacher, and founder of The Children's School in Evanston, Illinois. His laser draws energy and example from all these experiences and offers, finally, a vision of healthy development and authentic learning., In the spirit of Summerhill , Lyn Lesch's Our Results-Driven Testing Culture: How It Adversely Affects Students' Personal Experience offers a contemporary narrative of one school whose instruction, assessment, and design are unconventional by today's standards....This glimpse, a keen reminder of the importance of alternative perspectives and the once-lauded progressive tradition, makes Our Results-Driven Testing Culture: How it Adversely Affects Students' Personal Experience a worthwhile read.
