Fighting the testing mania in Texas | SocialistWorker.org: "IN WHAT is being called an "open rebellion" against standardized testing in public schools, parents, teachers and even administrators are speaking out as the mania for standardized testing gets ratcheted up in Texas amid devastating budget cuts.
Forty-six school boards across the state have signed onto a resolution declaring that high-stakes standardized testing is "strangling our public schools." And more districts in Texas' big metropolitan areas are considering adopting the resolution.
This is the latest development in the debate about public education in Texas as our schools are thrown into crisis, caught in a vice between $5.4 billion in budget cuts and new "accountability" standards passed by the legislature.
