The Test is an essential and critically acclaimed book for any parent confounded by our national obsession with standardized testing.

It presents the stories of families, teachers, and schools maneuvering within and beyond the existing educational system, playing and winning the testing game. And it points the way toward a hopeful future of better tests and happier kids.
