Test-weary second-grader asks school board: ‘Is that all that matters to grown-ups?’

I would like to talk about play in school and the need for more time for free play.

Children should have more recess because it allows us to play with our friends. Instead, we spend most of our time just reading, doing math problems, taking math tests and reading tests.

Is that all that matters to grown-ups?
