I challenge you to find one person who likes standardized testing. That person cannot be someone who profits from said testing. Neither teacher, nor parent, nor student supports these tests.

I’m testy about this focus on testing with nary a care for the best interests of children.

My voice alone, while loud, won’t drive change. Parents, we have voices that need to be heard. Turn up the volume.
For starters, please sign this petition.
