Monty Neil Tonight
7 PM, Hartzell Methodist Church.
Inch by inch, row by row, people are waking up to overtesting that's going on in our schools. Even the sleepiest people.
By the way, the testing is not something the teachers are asking for. It's political. It's part of the corporate takeover of public education. You can't have something like SB7 and not expect a barrage of idiotic "formative" testing. If you were a legislator, for example, and you voted for SB7, and you had no idea about the number of tests that would follow, then you're simply not paying attention.
