[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.

Looking at videos showing Canyon bike unboxing and assembly. Looks practically like IKEA. Pretty amazing. I'm super tempted, even this late in the year.

Popływałem, zjadłem śniadanie, złożyłem obóz i jadę. Nie odzywałem się, bo chciałem zajechać jak najdalej, zanim zacznie się palnik. Zdążyłem dojechać do Piły, gdzie wsiadam do pociągu i szybko wracam z wakacji do domu...

A raczej wsiadłbym, gdybym nie był sobą xD

W rzeczywistości jestem w Pile dlatego, że wybrałem dłuższą drogę do domu, którą i tak chyba jeszcze przedłużę odbijając w Kaczorach na Chodzież.
