My students are burned out and bored from all this testing. With the timetable and the hyper micromanaging of corporate bean counters there isn't enough time to teach other things I.e. civics, social studies, science if you teach in the inner-city.
Wilma, thank you for your dedication. I hope our neighbors start standing up for our students and teachers! I know your statement is true!
"They kind of mention in the film that only 17% of charters did better than public schools, but if you blinked you missed it. The WI report for the charter/voucher schools came out last week. His voucher/charter schools actually did worse for the most part or only kept pace with WI public schools on the State Tests. Gov. Walker's solution is to expand this program, BUT exempt the voucher/charter schools from State testing evaluations and have only public school students take these tests and only their teachers be held accountable:" These are the secrets that people rarely get in the lamestream media. But this is the type of crap the political servants of the Koch brothers set up to secretly continue the sabotage of public education that has been happening for decades!
