EDUCATION

President Barack Obama believes in education. He states that “education is everything….they need to graduate high school, college and probably need a graduate degree too”. Social Workers believe in education too. We have all three degrees and yet some have been fired and others emotionally battered and abused for life, because of this High-Stakes test, which has little to do with measuring our social work capabilities and abilities. Isn’t it ironic that battered and abused is the profile of our respective clients? Should such a test dictate and control our livelihood and our future? What do you think?
