The Testing
It's time to defund standardized testing. During our phone chats, my dad keeps bringing up racial disparities on test scores. He will not let it rest. I guess his news show blabs on about how our "failing public schools" perpetuate the achievement gap. I try not to take his comments personally, but since I've been working in public schools my entire adult life, his criticism really sticks in my craw. Give it a rest, Dad. Please. Standardized testing sucks as a way to see how kids learn and how teachers teach. I've told you that a million times. End of story.
