[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.

Trump admin finalizes a short-term Colorado River plan. Here’s what it means for Lake Powell.
The Trump administration won’t force Utah and other Upper Basin states to cut their Colorado River water use over the next two years, but Lower Basin states like California will collectively slash their consumption by over 1 million acre-feet per year for the next two years.

Im sitting out at Hole in the Rock - a small passage that was blasted by the mormons just wide enough to fit wagons down. It’s a 45 degree slope through a rock formation down to the Colorado river.
Mormon pioneers blasted this path and used ropes to lower their wagons to the river, where a party had been sent ahead to build a “just-good-enough” ferry that carried the travelers across.
