On behalf of the Waterbury Area Anti Racism Coalition, Life LeGeros read a statement to the HUUSD Board during the April 14 meeting. He explained to the board why he would not make his child participate in standardized testing this year.
“In my opinion, statewide standardized testing and reforms based on accountability that center these scores is on balance a flawed education strategy. During a pandemic it is educational malpractice, pure and simple,” he said.
He went on to speak about how the tests don’t reflect how students have grown and what they’ve learned.
