Big Brother [The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium SBAC] is spying on our children!










WARNING!
Public school students in grades 3-8 will begin taking the unfair, inappropriate and discriminatory Common Core Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Tests this week.  Children in PARCC States, the alternative Common Core Testing Program begin taking their tests last week.
The Common Core SBAC Testing period runs March 17 – June 15, 2015
The following is just one of the many reasons parents should opt their children out of the destructive Common Core SBAC Tests.
Read the following statement that was provided to all states administering the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Tests;
Please note that the social media Web sites are being monitored by Smarter Balanced Communications staff members.
In fact, the SBAC consortium has enlisted the help of state governments, school districts, schools and test administrators to participate in their spying operation.
The SBAC Spying Memo is entitled, “GUIDANCE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA MONITORING DURING THE FIELD TEST,” and it states:
The Consortium is closely monitoring social media networks for security breaches and escalating to states when appropriate.
Test Administration Procedures
To get ahead of the problem and reduce the number of security breaches on social media, we encourage you to refer to the Smarter Balanced Test Administration Manual (Appendix B) for detailed information on the impact and definition of incidences as well as the timeline for reporting these activities.
Sites to Monitor
Twitter (https://twitter.com/.)  If your school has a Twitter account, you can take advantage of following your students by requesting their @username and/or encouraging them to the follow the school Twitter account.
