    Studies have shown that it significantly helps reduce overwhelm to break up the remainder-of-your-lifetime’s worth of menial labor into smaller, much less soul-destroying chunks; such as a “week” or “day” or “hour.”

    As someone who works in public education, I 💯% agree, but do want to add that it’s not the students, parents, teachers, or admins who want that.

    Every standardized test we do (and there are a lot of them) is an exhausting and stressful operation that feels more like a distraction from school, rather than an assessment of its efficacy.

    The school boards are the policy makers; and at least around here, they’re all gunning for local political offices next, if they’re not already one-foot-on-the-platform.
