1. How about we get rid of the "No Child Left Behind" bullshit

which was designed to both fuck over the teachers union and decimate public education so it can be privatized for a bunch of fucking business vultures.

2. the only way is to decimate FCAT by not taking it. Obama has fucked over

public education, children, and parents by buying into this crap started by Jeb Bush and championed by Rick Scott.

Simple question. What if the deformers gave a standardized test and no one took it?

That is how we defeat them!

3. Yes! I am with you

we have opted our child out of the standardized testing. In Seattle last year there was just about an entire middle school that opted out along with a couple of high schools.
