Stop using high-stake tests at schools & end education inequity that affects so many Hispanic students who take them!

Created by H.P. on March 07, 2014

Standardized test-makers are profiting from selling their collection of their products to states and employers and this abuse is happening in school districts all over the nation. Their lobbyists are behind federal and state laws that require student scores to be used to evaluate not only the students but their teachers, principals and schools. Testing experts have long said that standardized test scores should not be used for high-stakes purposes, but policymakers have insisted on it anyway.
Moreover, the practice of using high-stake tests like ACT and SAT is creating an education apartheid where only the rich can dream of a future while the poor lack public education to learn and progress in life. We oppose the use of these tests & will punish politicians who support them w our votes
