...down until it made sense. We knew that making mistakes was the best way to learn, and when we mastered a subject, it was time to learn something new. These results didn't stem from rigorous rote learning. Too often, educators focus on raising test scores with tips and tricks, forgetting to acknowledge that the students taking those tests are individuals. How can you expect a student to do well on a standardized test when that...
