Less Testing!
Study child development! Require active engagement in classrooms. Decrease the number of tests! Do some standardized testing in grades 5 (or 6) , 8 ( or9) and in 12. Help make the national chant “What do we do if they do not learn?” SUPPORT teachers; do not penalize the teachers who CHOOSE to teach in impoverished environments. Support, rather than tear down is the key!
