Exactly. If you understand the issues, you support the teachers.

Go Garfield!

That's no way to run an education organization and that's no way to lead a corps of professionals.

The teachers have been trying to communicate with the District about this for years and the District has ignored them. This boycott isn't the first try; it is the last resort.

Thank goodness it appears to be working. Thank goodness the District has promised to actually conduct a review of the practice. Now let's see if they keep that promise.

Someday, "standardized tests," will look as enlightened and constructive as dunce caps and corporal punishment.

I'll also add in my statistician skillz here and say that the "re-norming" the MAP company did last year was obviously a clusterfuck from top to bottom: nearly identical scores were moved around, percentiles changed in apparently random directions. These people have no idea what the hell they're doing - and yet this crap is used to evaluate teacher performance, because DATA!

It's a beautiful example of GIGO, and the teachers are right to refuse to waste students' time with it.

Banda decided to attack and threaten us instead of sitting down and talking. That was not a wise move.

Please send email to Superintendent Banda and tell him what you think of his threats and intimidation. We can use as much support as possible. superintendent@seattleschools.org

Have a kid in Seattle Schools? Have them OPT OUT of the MAP test. Send letters of support to your kids teachers too.

thanks.

And SAT, AP. End all testing! All kids go to college! All kids get equal, good grades! All kids get good, equal paying jobs! No bosses, no workers! Equality for all!

What, they need to test rap, Ebonics and carjacking skills instead if English and math?

This is the idiocy leading this tiny movement of a few loud mouthed malcontents? Screw testing for basic English and death skills, the kids need to be radicals!

This is a tiny movement of loud mouths. Fire their asses so the REAL SPS parents can get their kids educated.
