Reply to "High Stakes Testing....at what cost?"

Hi Jim - Have you seen this? At Garfield High School in Seattle, the teachers refused to give the MAP test (I don't know if that's the same test you're talking about). Administrators took over the testing and the kids refused to cooperate, many with their parents' support. Here's a Facebook page about it -

I found out about this through the organization Rethinking Schools, it sounds like you might like this organization, if you don't already know it:

Thank you for your advocacy for children!
