How appropriate this quote is considering the accountability placed on our teachers and the importance of test scores placed on our students. An educator's job is to not teach to the test, but to teach inquiry and make the student a well-rounded individual that becomes a positive, contributing member of society.

Outside of tutoring, I play a variety of sports, though tennis...
