    Child Wets Pants Because of TEST

    Ohanian Comment:Yes,
    this is a sad story. But a sadder story is
    that teachers continue to violate professional
    standards by engaging in such developmentally
    inappropriate tasks, tasks that harm students.
    Can teachers continue to blame corporate
    politicos in Washington D. C. or must they
    begin to accept some of the blame themselves?

    What about the union and professional
    organization silence on matters of professional
    integrity? When will they call on teachers to
    do no harm? Call on them--and stand behind them
    when teachers assert their professionalism.

    Rent the movie "Judgment at Nuremberg."
    Nuremberg Principle IV states:
    The fact that a person acted pursuant to
    order of his Government or of a superior does
    not relieve him from responsibility under
    international law, provided a moral choice was
    in fact possible to him.

    I am the kindest tester in the whole wide
    world.

    Today, one of my kids was so stressed about
    taking DIBLES (spelling???) that she wet her
    pants.

    Isn't that a sad story?
