Hundreds of CPS students from 25 schools are refusing to take their annual state achievement test next week, according to a group opposed to some standardized tests...

Holding signs that read “Our children are more than a score!,” the group encouraged parents to not have their children take the test...

“We think this is a great time for parents and students to say we are demanding more from our public schools than testing,” said Creswell, of More than a Score, an organization of parents, teachers, students and community members frustrated by CPS testing.

1. Good for them. My son's graduation will be held hostage if I don't have him test.

I will probably have him test so that he is not punished. I will let my vote be my protest. Any politician, republican or democrat, who supports this crap will not get my vote.
