One test. Many learners. One size fits none.
This cartoon might be familiar—but its message remains urgent.
It challenges us to rethink what we call “fairness” in education.
Is giving everyone the same test truly fair when learners are so different?
Or is fairness about recognizing individual strengths and creating space for every student to succeed?
“If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree…” — how often do we unknowingly do just that?
Let this be a call to:
Reimagine assessment
Redefine intelligence
And recommit to teaching that values every learner’s potential
How can we create systems where all learners feel seen, capable, and valued?
