My son comes home in tears after these testing weeks. He used to love school and now he just hates it. Enough is enough.

Chris Patricca, thanks for your comment. We live in a country that encourages debate from both sides. I welcome you to go start your own petition, rather than trying to convince informed citizens that they don't know what they're talking about, when in fact, they do. We've all seen your disgusting comments at the board meeting, we get it, you like the cool-aid.

FINALLY. Someone needs to stand up to the state and say no. Our kids are more than a data point.

I hope that at some point we can do away with all the testing that does nothing but give ammo to the "schools aren't working" crowd. Standardized testing is a tool for people who have an interest in killing public school because the tests are designed to fail average student. This makes teachers look like they are not performing. This is then used as a justification , by those who want to kill our public schools, to reduce teacher compensation.
