Public school parents from across the [New York]city are gathering outside the headquarters of test publisher Pearson to protest excessive and misguided testing in the public schools.The New York State Education Department* has turned over control of the education system to a private for-profit company with no accountability and no oversight.
It’s time for parents, educators and concerned citizens to say, enough is enough! We want a rich curriculum for our kids – not “teaching to the test.” We believe in our children and our schools, and refuse to continue to stand by silently as they are overwhelmed by more and more standardized testing...
*and Montgomery County's Board of Education has done the same thing!
