On National Opt Out day, the Movement of Rank and File Educators stands in solidarity with the brave parents who have stepped forward and said no to high stakes testing! The best way to stop the corporate takeover our schools is to refuse to participate.
Visit the Change the Stakes Website for information about how New York parents and teachers are united in the struggle against high stakes testing here
Be one of the 2,300 people who have signed the petition to Give New York State Parents the Right to Opt their Children Out of High Stakes Testing
Or one of 4,000 who have signed Carol Burris’ petition to Governor Cuomo and the LEgislature to End High Stakes Testing
We care MORE about the people our students become and LESS about the scores on the tests they take.
Hats off to MORE! Parents and teachers united will never be defeated!
Why was this really important date set so soon after the winter break….? I just got it and it’s already over? Can we set another one. I think it would be powerful act if more people knew.
