The real reason for this boycott is negro and hispo kids can't pass the tests while whites and asians have no trouble. The fact that asians do so well proves the tests are NOT culturally biased. The dusky minorities are simply dumb and teachers want to go back to the good old days when those kids were allowed to underperform and everybody looked the other way.
More teachers won't administer standardized tests - Washington Times
Monday, February 4, 2013
The standardized-testing boycott that began with teachers in Chicago last year and reached new heights recently in Seattle may be exploding into a full-blown national movement.
Seattle teachers, who have for the past month refused district orders to administer an exam to their students, have called on their colleagues nationwide to participate in a national day of action Wednesday. The Seattle Education Association is pushing for fellow instructors and other sympathizers to hold meetings, rallies, take photos and wear red to show support.
The burgeoning protest began at Seattle's Garfield High School in early January, when teachers there refused to give students the measures of academic progress assessment, more commonly known as the MAP test.
The exam, given to students nationwide and designed to measure reading, math and other skills, is being derided by teachers and their unions as a waste of time and a poor measure of student knowledge.
Critics of the protest point out that it also plays a role in Seattle teacher evaluations and claim thats the real motive behind the boycott.
