[Excessive testing teaches students] that learning is a joyless succession of hoops through which they must jump, rather than a way of understanding and mastering the world. Every question has one right answer; the measure of a person is a number. Being insightful, or creative, or heaven forfend, counterintuitive counts for nothing.

If a system becomes weak enough and the opposition divided enough, if the ruling order is corrupt enough and people are angry enough, extremists can suddenly step into the center, where no one expects them. And after that it can take decades to undo the damage.

I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

#GoodMorning #Cycling! The #RoadBike streak continues! It was difficult to get up and not that warm this #morning, but in the end it was a nice ride!

Still on the #RoadBike, but that’s fine. A little cobblestone here and there doesn’t bother me and we didn’t go off-road in the darkness!🫣

#GoodMorning #Gravel on a #RoadBike…🤡 While I’m waiting for parts for the other #bicycle, I’ve decided to take #Canyon for an uncomfortable trip. Also, picked up some tubes from Decathlon, so the repair time is near!🫣

#GoodMorning #Cycling! Wanted to get out earlier, but I’ve been so lazy… #KidsOnBikes are on holidays, so there’s no real motivation to push on…🤡

#Gravel is yet to be fixed, so I’m getting my bones shaken some more on the #RoadBike…😅

If your brain is always multitasking, or responding to technoprompts, there is no time or energy for undirected mental play. Furthermore, if you are consumed by the same information loop circulating around everyone else, you don't have anything to stimulate you into thinking differently. ... You don't have access to unexpected knowledge. You're just swept along in the same narrow current as everyone else, which is swift but not deep.

Forget about the moral imperative of creating a more stable, just world. The world is becoming increasingly connected and intertwined. Allowing injustice and human despair to fester will ultimately bring a pay back, even to those who might think they are most immune from it.

#GoodMorning #Cycling with my hero #Canyon #RoadBike still dishing out a lot of fun!😍

#KidsOnBikes almost got ready on time. Had to nag them immensely just before the departure…🤡

I need a new frame bag for that #bicycle, though. It’s annoying to transfer the gear all the time!🫣

#GoodMorning #Cycling!

It’s #CorpusChristi today, so no #KidsOnBikes hustle, at least not yet. Just good old pure #Road #Bicycle fun!

There has been a bit of #gravel on the route, but nothing that #RoadBike can’t handle!

#GoodMorning #Cycling! No #gravel today as I’m trying to rekindle my love to the neglected #RoadBike. So far so good. The #bicycle is still fun, despite dated brakes and dull mechanical shifters…🤡

Limited numbers and an early departure for #KidsOnBikes!🫣

#GoodMorning #Cycling! Ditched the #gravel for a #RoadBike! The route was still pretty much same comfort loop…🤡

The bike has a more racing feel, though, so the experience was entirely different.

#KidsOnBikes drama again… Only Franek managed to get out…🫠

Yet another #night of #cycling, but this time in a full #NightRiders squad. Nothing fancy route-wise, but since my #Gravel is injured, I’ve taken the #RoadBike for a spin!🥰

That #Canyon #Endurace #bicycle is ight and agile. Too bad I’m not strong enough to do it justice… 😅
