We will not allow you to use u for the purpose of destroying our public education system. She should be arrested and carted off to prison, where she can spend all her days reading Common Core passages, and Pearson's confusing and bastardized math. It would be my pleasure to buy her all the worksheets! Just save some blank sheets for Mr Cuomo...he should have much extra free time on his hands also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-71316889780395921242015-04-07T16:35:44.108-04:002015-04-07T16:35:44.108-04:00This is what happens when incompetency is put in &...This is what happens when incompetency is put in "power".

We, the people of New York, do not want her 1) formulating any policies against our children, our public schools, and our educators, and 2) IMMEDIATELY step down from the board. Please go home to your family, and create educational policies for all of the Tisch's. The day will eventually come when she is gone, we just have to get through the nightmare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-37953731206969052672015-04-07T15:47:13.277-04:002015-04-07T15:47:13.277-04:00You are just fanning the flame Tuschie.

New York's working folks do not like to be threatened by lame duck plutocrats who are personally responsible for extensive damage to our state's system of education. Soon you will go back to your deep concern about our state's dark skinned children. That rings very hollow when we are fully aware that you and your 1% friends do not want to be taxed to support opportunity for brown skinned children.

There are a number of republican candidates for president that have called for the abolition of the Federal Department of Education.

The bottom line is that parents can opt their kid out of any of these state or federal tests. Any law to the contrary will not survive a judicial challenge even if could make it politically. These tests are not part of a student's grade. Case closed. If enough parents opt their kids out, the politicians and the Board of Regents/SED will head for the hills. It just happened on Long Island with speed zone cameras. A few well timed rallies and scathing verbal and written reaction let to both counties rescinding their laws.

NY is still officially a PARCC state; NYSED and the BOR decided to temporarily suspend our commitment due to technology issues.

Only way opt out isn't option is if state pols decide to back move to make opt out illegal and/or harmful to the districts. But they cannot do that under the cover of night - they'd have to take a public vote on that. Think many politicians want to publicly support forcing kids to take the state tests or else?<br /><br />I have another coming in a bit, will show how the deformers are working overtime to fool the public into thinking the new evaluation system "reduces testing."<br /><br />You can see that the anxiety over overtesting is still there. reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-67351809250634168292015-04-07T14:18:38.939-04:002015-04-07T14:18:38.939-04:00Utterly clueless.

Or, if for some reason opt out is not possible on another test, there is the end of the NYS opt out movement.
