Our standard testing practices encourage mindless cramming and dumping, rather than critical engagement. All students would benefit from more frequent, low-stakes, real-time, individualized assessments.

That work has always required energy and effort from the people. And so it has always been vulnerable, because that energy and effort could dissipate at any time.
