TAKS haiku

I wrote the following today as I was pacing the floor~see post below.

Insanity


TAKS testing deprives
teachers and students of the
chance to dialogue.

Benefits are few;
have students mastered content?
Is there retention?

Educating or
creating robots? What is
your answer, Texas?

Glad that you survived the week without having to shout "THIS IS MAAAAAADDDDNEESSSSS!" and gather a group of 300 teachers to slap TEA upside the head with a bucket of herring.

One more month to go! :)
