Peg with Pen: Parental Rights in the Kingdom of Colorado
Peg with Pen: Parental Rights in the Kingdom of Colorado:
Things are brewing here in Colorado – or should I sayboiling. The events over the last few months have been an eye opener to say theleast.
We can begin with the petitionI sent out this fall. This petition spoke to the negative effects of highstakes testing and has received close to 4,000 signatures. The petitionstates: Colorado school children are spending too much time onstandardized tests and not enough time learning. These tests do nothing toactually help the students who take them. Worse yet, politicians are using theresults of these tests to justify deep budget cuts for public schools and topunish good teachers. It's time to end the era of high-stakes standardizedtests in Colorado. We, the undersigned, demand that the era of high-stakesstandardized tests in Colorado must end
