These Teachers Created A Petition To Stop Testing During COVID
It has over 24,000 signatures.
Whether or not schools should test students at the national and state level shouldn’t even be a question this year, but it is. Testing is a billion-dollar industry , and for testing companies and lobbyists, not testing means losing big money. Guidance from the top has been at a standstill as Betsy Devos has left it up to Congress to decide what happens next. Meanwhile, many states like North Carolina and Texas announced that they plan to test their students, despite increasing COVID cases. Other states are testing but without the threat of sanctions against teachers and schools.
