Alfie Kohn Allison Greene Courtney Laux Missy Meyer

“We want children to continue reading and thinking after school has ended, yet we focus their attention on grades, which have been shown to reduce interest in learning. We want them to be critical thinkers, yet we feed them predigested facts and discrete skills – partly because of various constituencies to pump up standardized test scores” (Kohn 2001, p. 61).
