Now the problem with standardized tests is that it's based on the mistake that we can simply scale up the education of children like you would scale up making carburetors. And we can't, because human beings are very different from motorcars, and they have feelings about what they do and motivations in doing it, or not.
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
There's only one thing that can kill the movies, and that's education.
We already know that kids who get put in front of TVs instead of interacting, this is not good in all kinds of ways.
