"I am a song writer and third Grade Teacher. My classes have won contests for writing songs. There used to be joy on my student's faces. We cooked, we did projects, we played. Now, those looks of joy are replaced with stress, nervous ticks, and work. The test is coming up!

"I am a responsive classroom teacher. I feel guilty for helping children be children. The things that I loved about teaching young children are gone. There has to be a better way."
