NCLB and High Stakes Testing

I wonder how long the lunacy of NCLB and high stakes testing will continue? NCLB and high stakes testing have been wagging the dog for far too long, and personally, I am sick of it. NCLB and high stakes testing have not added value. In fact, they have taken away value and instead placed them on dumb things in the name of accountability and standards.

The "so-called" landmark education bills recently passed in Colorado is a prime example.  Our fragile democracy needs brave citizens who are not afraid to stand up against the lunacy of NCLB and high stakes testing I applaud those middle school students in the Bronx, (students of Doug Avella) who turned in black tests. These students are the brave ones and should be applauded. 

Please be part of the movement to get rid of NCLB and high stakes testing, the Halliburton of education.

P.S. I have seen educational fads come and go, but this is the worst ever. This one really harms.
