Peg with Pen: Teaching Strategies GOLD Parent Refusal Letter

Peg with Pen: Teaching Strategies GOLD Parent Refusal Letter:

Teaching Strategies GOLD Parent Refusal Letter




Please see my first post regarding GOLD if you are unfamiliar with this assessment. Also, please see our early childhood guide if you are interested in gathering parents to help them in fighting these corporate initiatives. I promise to have this letter uploaded to our website atUnited Opt Out National soon.

Please share this letter - revise, add to it, do whatever you must to make it work for your situation. If you need assistance in revision please let me know. I can be reached at writepeg@juno.com. I will soon have it in Spanish and please let me know what other translations are needed.  Please protect our children, demand they receive authentic learning and authentic instruction and shelter them from corporate entities and mandates which rob them of their childhoods.
Many thanks in advance,
Peg
