What Happened to Recess and Why Are Our Children Struggling in Kindergarten? McGraw-Hill, 2002.

Sounding the alarm about specific ways these tests harm younger and younger students, Ohanian charges that federal education mandates do not support learning, but in fact take away a student’s most basic learning needs. “Standardistas” and “testocrats,” she charges, are slowly dismantling a system that once used care and common sense to provide each child with necessary and well-rounded skills).
