That plane has no interaction with you at all.

But they're fascinated by it.

They're cued into it.

They're interested in it.

We all the time have to figure out, what are the things we're going to be tested on?

What are the things you're going to need to know?

And one of the ways you do that as educators, we both do, is you give them a test.

And a lot of people say, I can't wait to have the last test.

Really?

You want to have no more time when someone judges and determines, how'd you do?

What is your evaluation?

I think a lot of times, many of us become lifelong learners, and we're comfortable knowing that someone else knows more than me.

I'm not going to win.

But that I'll be able to find out, how much did I do?

That I know what's possible.

And testing is good for us.

Educators do it not just to assign and rank and distribute and give Bs and Cs and Ds, but someone says, you could do better than that.

If you got a D, you could have done better.

I'm not saying you're flawed.

I'm saying you didn't put in whatever was needed.
