There’s a Train A Coming

 This opinion piece was shared with us by PAA Florida Affiliate leader Lourdes Pérez Ramírez. She writes, “Here’s an opinion piece that Rick Roach, the only school board member who has had the guts to take a standardized test and failed, and who also has the guts to sternly oppose these high-stake tests, sent me.”

There’s a Train a Coming

By Rick Roach, Orange County (Florida) School Board Member District 3

I’ve always tried to heed what a wise man once said. “ When you bury your head in the sand, remember what you leave exposed.”

It’s been a valuable image for me as I’ve represented my Orange County School Board District 3 constituents. On Saturday, January 25, nearly 450 people gave up a gorgeous afternoon to watch an educational documentary called STANDARDIZED. I’d received the DVD a few days before, made arrangements for showing it at Howard Middle School, and watched it at least five times, trying to imagine how it would be viewed by people with differing perspectives about standardized testing. Would it rub people the wrong way? Offend? Encourage? Discourage?

As I introduced the film to the crowd, I moved to the back of the auditorium where I could get a better feel for reaction. There was no need to worry. Scene by scene the crowd laughed, applauded, ooohed, ahhed,

On the Wolverine

Heading for Detroit on the Wolverine for the NDSG meeting. I love trains. A ticket to Motown -- $28 each way. Plus I got free upgrade from previous trips. I can't drive it for that and the travel time is about the same. Wish we had high-speed rail with a Chicago hub. I'd hardly ever fly.

Detroit power outage. A metaphor?

Power Struggle… Detroit schools continue to be a disinvestment basket case, even more so since the state takeover. The latest news isabout school power outages which shut down 30 schools in the city Tuesday. Before Tuesday, schools had missed 130 days collectively through the end of January because of power outages. Now that number has climbed to 160.

While in Detroit, I'm hoping to see the Grace Lee Boggs and Jimmy Boggs school, a small school named after two of the heroes of the city's freedom movement. In a good piece in Huffington, Laura De Palma described the beloved community being

What were guinea pigs doing at the State House? (a newsletter from Providence Student Union)

Posted by Shawn Strader on Feb 11, 2014 - 09:58 AM

Providence Student Union never ceases to amaze me... In my opinion they are some of the most intoxicating change-makers to follow, and so I love any opportunity to share what they are up. This news letter came to me last week in a subscribed update. Not only did they take their message to the State House, but the local news covered the event, and from the way it looks the participants had a fun time demonstrating too. Check it out, and subscribe to PSU's emails on their homepage - you won't regret it. 

Last week, the Rhode Island General Assembly got quite a surprise when an enormous pack of guinea pigs and lab rats took over the State House for an afternoon. 

That's me at the podium, standing in front of some of my guinea pig friends. Behind us are state legislators - a few of them even wore ears and whiskers!

Wait, what? Guinea pigs and lab rats? I know that sounds crazy, but that's what happened! Well, almost... My name is José Serrano. I'm a member of the Providence Student Union, and I came up with the idea for last week's event, "Operation: Guinea Pig," where students from across Rhode Island rallied at the State House dressed like lab animals - complete with whiskers, animal ears, paws and more - to show how the state is experimenting on us with high-stakes testing. As I said in my speech at the protest, "The reason we are dressed like guinea pigs and lab rats is simple - that is how we are being treated. The Department of Education hypothesized that high-stakes testing alone, without the extra resources our schools need, would solve our education problems. But this unproven gamble is playing with our futures, and we are here to say this needs to stop."

Watch coverage of "Operation: Guinea Pig" here!

Our event was a big success. Everyone in the State House wanted to see what was going on, and we got our message across big time.

I was especially glad that a lot of legislators came to see our skit, where my friends Lindsey and Yanine played "scientists" from the Department of Education who experimented on student guinea pigs. Using a giant (cardboard) syringe labeled NECAP, they showed some of the consequences of high-stakes testing; for example, when I was "injected"  the scientists took away my diploma and I was dragged into the criminal justice system, just like so many students who do not graduate high school. You can click here to watch the whole skit.
