Read this moving resolution signed by teachers of a Brooklyn school.
Brooklyn Teachers Push Back
This is my favorite part-
"When used correctly, we believe that assessment is a powerful tool.
At PS 29, we constantly assess our students, collecting meaningful data
that informs our day-to-day instruction. Unlike the high-stakes tests,
our assessments improve the education we provide."
What other reason should there be for assessment?
When I was in elementary school, we took these national standardized tests to see how we compared with the rest of the country. And that was it. It didn't have any impact on our grades or placement for the following year. That was the teacher's job.
It has got to stop!
