On Testing

If I stand in front of the class and isolate students to ask the
questions we've been drilling all term, there are fewer hints shouted
from the peanut gallery. And it progressively crushes me to see the
blank faces and embarrassed states and "gotta go" hopping in place.
Better for all involved to circulate in a cluster of whispers and
accept that the hints will exist no matter what I do.
