"One morning a few years ago, as the second grade was about to start a standardized test, I passed a sobbing young girl in the hallway. She was so totally panicked about this test that she could not control her emotions. Seven-year-olds should not have to feel such angst about taking a test.

"Please, let kids still have a chance to be kids."
