This blog discusses how standardized tests in schools narrows the curriculum in schools because teachers are teaching to the test instead of encouraging children to be creative. I learned that part of the problem is educators see children as future adults instead of as children. I commented about how programs that encourage creativity have been cut. My comment contributed to the community of learners because many people forget about the arts in schools and the more they are reminded the more likely it is that they will be supported.
