'I hate standardized tests': Teacher helps her students pass by defying standardized test's rules

There's really no better thing as a kid than watching an authority figure whom you respect rebelling against the higher power that controls all of your destiny. 

Now, I've written a few rants on the pages of Fail Blog about standardized tests and the fact that their design and administration really only encourage schools to build their curriculum to pass that specific test—at the cost of actual learning, knowledge, and real-life experiences. The best teachers I've ever had were the ones who were capable and willing to stray off the beaten path of tested knowledge in an effort to really connect with their students and expand their horizons. I consider myself lucky enough to have had a number of these educators teaching classes throughout my education, and, in some cases, I learned more about myself and life than I did the actual subject at hand, but that's still a damned sight more than any standardized test-based ever curriculum taught me.
