Artist Statement
The phrase sounds good. Would that the intent was as good. As learning and education are put on the back burner while test scores have been made the primary concern of school administrations. Low test scores equal less money. In the meantime, money is being diverted from schools to other pursuits. The result is schools are closed due to lack of funds. No child left behind takes on a totally new meaning.
