LAMENTING ACCOUNTABILITY MORATORIUM |
Accountability systems based on false premises...
...improperly using unreliable standardized testing to rate students, teachers, districts, and states.
So-called "education reformers", performing a smoke-and-mirrors act on behalf of billionaires anxious to make yet another billion, just won't give it up.
Then, again...
Of course not, that's how they get paid, how they earn their thirty pieces of silver.
From the Thomas B. Fordham Institute
The accountability moratorium is here (Transitioning to the Common Core, part 1)
The silver lining...
The public outcry, led by the likes of Diane Ravitch, has backed the evildoers off their timetable for immediate implementation of a fundamentally flawed, untested system.
Keep up the good work!
Here's to turning the moratorium into...
Rest in Peace!
Well, actually, that's being too kind.
What really needs to be done is to bury the self-serving, profit-motivated accountability scheme, plow the ground, and salt the earth from which it sprung!
