Confession of a cheating teacher

This is how both NC and TX public schools worked, from what I experienced. "You're going to learn this, this way, because some suit said so, so you can pass the EOG/EOC/TAKS and we can keep our jobs and continue this cycle."

This so much. So glad I took mostly AP classes during HS because if you didn't, you spent the whole year learning how to pass the stupidly easy TAKS test.
