A child’s ability to make his/her mark heavy and dark, and to choose among four possible answers all of which were selected by an adult who knows nothing whatsoever about education, is nothing – NOTHING – compared to a child’s ability to sing, to paint, to comfort a friend, to run, to skip, to create, to tell a story, to empathize, to understand, to share, to laugh, to compare, to contrast, to comprehend, and most of all, to connect. Echoes have no originality. Repeating back what was drummed into a child and rehearsed for months is not education. Echoes are not educated. Echoes are inanimate sound wave reflections.
