“The failure here is much more likely in the questions themselves and in the belief that it was acceptable to ask eight- and nine-year-olds to sit and take long exams over several days.” @nysape @LIOptOut @NYCOptOut @NYStateBATs @nysut #optout2018 hawksites.newpaltz.edu/curre…

Final day of NYS ELA testing- for the first time in 28 years- saw 7th graders break down and cry. Others took over 5 hours to complete, some just gave up and wrote anything. How is this educational? The rest of the day was spent dealing with the aftermath. @nysut @UnionManOKane

SED fails to deliver tests to over 300 districts, but gives district “flexibility” to suprise children with when they will take tests! Woot woot! @nysut @nysape @LIOptOut @NYCOptOut #optout2017 #brokenbenchmarks democratandchronicle.com/sto…
