Our Kids Aren't Taking Your Test
Mr. Arne Duncan, please take note. These are not white suburban moms. They are mothers and fathers of color, mothers and fathers in a bustling urban environment, mothers and fathers sending their children to a progressive, dual-language school because they care deeply about their child's education- not because they care about test scores or some random, inaccurate portrayal of how smart YOU think their children are. And they are mad. They HATE your Common Core and took a stand against it.
