Consider this...
the following list*
of over 50 organizations in the United States and Canada have
position statements about the High-Stakes use of Standardized Testing. So ask yourself...if so many educational and
other child-centered organizations are against this practice, then
why are non-educators
making such educational mandates for our children? *originally
compiled by FairTest
with some additions from us. If you have an organization to
add, just contact us! Thank
you! STUDY:
