0155: Ding Dong the Test Has Gone…for now.

#education #SOSchat #occupyedu

I enjoy post-test teaching. The air is fresh and light like after a storm. People are energized now that the weight is lifted. Teachers relax and classrooms look begin to resemble think-tanks instead of training facilities. Discipline becomes less punitive. People are people again. The test is over. While we wait for results, we’ll enjoy a spot of humanity with our students, fellow strugglers, and other comrades. Some of us despise the new found freedom, but the rest enjoy it. For now we’ll celebrate. When the Giant returns we’ll go back underground.

(The test isn’t over for everyone, but we’ll be waiting)
