Ricardo Soltero-Brown's intimate dialogue in “To The Test" explores the complexities of personal relationships and the challenges faced by educators. The play looks at memory, identity, and the ethics of responsibility in education making it a compelling and insightful Soltero-Brown’s writing is both passionate and profound, leaving a lasting impact.

The dialog is comfortable and easy to fall in to. The plot line is as frustrating as the real life issues. I loved following a strong female lead throughout the story. Soltero-Brown has done an excellent job writing the dynamic between mother and daughter.

This play exposes the public school system as corrupt and flawed as the corporate world. With a complex woman at the center, this writer articulates and advocates for a better education for our children, for solutions to instruction, standardized testing, grading and evaluation. It's depressing at times, but even with the outcome, there's a bit of hope, a push thst a community of parents and teachers need in order to move in the right direction.
