Playful Learning & Growing

I only wished there were more educators AND parents willing to take a stand against the corporate profiters AND stand up for our children and the future for full feel rounded education, not making corporations money and dumbing down our children and limiting their potential by narrowing their expose to the information on the test. “Last year,” Lee told the senators, ”I decided that I am obligated and accountable to my students and families, and that is why, as a conscientious objector, I will not administer tests that reduce my students to a single metric and will continue to take this position until the role of standardized assessments are put in their proper place.” “We just celebrated the life of Martin Luther King Jr.” Lee continued. ”In his Letter From a Birmingham Jail, King affirms that ‘one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.’ He quotes St. Augustine who said ‘an unjust law is no law at all.’ So long as education policy continues to be shaped by the interests of corporate profiteering and not the interests of our public school children, we will resist these unjust testing laws.”
