In the chorus line of questions on any given standardized test or test prep materials, is it possible that it's only the questions about my poetry that are kicking in the wrong direction? Or is it time to can the choreographer for gross ineptitude? #thetestsarebogus @DianeRavitch
2. My poem, Walking on the Boundaries of Change was used with permission by test prep company Mentoring Minds, that mysteriously (and falsely) promises to build critical thinking skills in kids. Below, the poem and first question. It's downhill from here, 8 questions total.
3. Day by day
a tightrope,
walking on the boundaries
of change.

the next step –
shaky, strange.
Some friends
will dare danger,
mock or push each step.
Some friends
knock your confidence.
