Children deserve a holistic education which inspires and encourages them to express their creativity, joy and curiosity. There are untapped depths and brilliance in young humans - who knows what genius lies within each one, waiting for the opportunity and freedom to flower.

Remove the limiting influences of testing from education to allow teachers to work more intuitively and with greater freedom. This will benefit the children.

Education should foster the development of the physical, social, emotional, artistic, spiritual and intellectual capacities of the human being, not be narrowed into testing, ranking and measuring students for economic output.

By narrowing our focus for our children we can fall into the trap of narrowing our expectations - encompassing the broadness of what humanity has to offer can only result in endless opportunities for brillance in all its diversity.

Education of the whole person goes way beyond such "benchmarking" schemes.
