      I know it, and as a former educator, my decision to retire early is due in part to the damage that they started and the increasing helplessness that I and my fellow teachers around me had, forcibly tied to bullshit test-prep mandates that were intended to be failed because failure means even more testing and punitive privatization.

      Gates and his fellow “education reformer” buddy epstein (yes, he was involved in that!) wanted to screw kids in more ways than one.
