      It’s like the only thing we have educated high schoolers for: standardized testing & college prep... is fundamentally failing.

      Makes one wonder about all the others.. you know the kids who didn’t apply to college this time around.

      I think the goal from a K-12 education should be to spread the love of learning. And preparing kids how to effectively use the latest technologies for exploration, in terms of the things that interest them.

      also — sad to see how covid exacerbates gaps for folks from disadvantaged backgrounds at every step.
