END STANDARDIZED TESTING

The Issue

Our children are not test scores nor prisoners.  Our teachers went into this profession to make a difference in our lives, not to teach a test!  Where would you be today if it wasn't for your teachers?  The gag order that they hold over the teachers is highly illegal and needs to stop immediately.  The PARCC test violates our Civil Rights!  PARCC never went up for bid and is part of the Federal Government which is illegal.  Teachers evaluations and schools should not be graded off of a test.  We are not a "One Size Fits All," we are all unique in our own ways.  Some students test well while others don't.  This has caused much unneeded stress and anxiety for teachers and students, literally making them sick!  Let teachers teach and be evaluated from their work ethics and not a test score!!!
