By Any Means Necessary: Stop Sanctioned Child Abuse in Schools

The testing hysteria has reached levels in schools that require parents and teachers to take action to protect children from further harm. Teachers, parents, and children should feel justified to take whatever nonviolent actions are necessary to promote healthy learning environments and healthy children and to stop the testing abuse that is destroying the capacity of children to grow and learn.

Before you decide if that's a good thing or not, read this story. You may be shocked at the lengths many schools and districts will go to, to raise their test scores. After reading, go to your child's school and start asking some hard questions. Need help
