Abstract | No Child Left Behind and its draconian test regime started more than 10 years ago, and in many states the testing juggernaut was already well under way. Due to a combination of their own constrained vision and current educational policy, in most cases students have this testing-is-the-only-option pedagogy reinforced when they get into classrooms. Whether they are student teachers or classroom veterans, the refrain they hear from district, state, and federal officials has been maddeningly consistent these last years: more standards, more tests, more pacing guides, more scripted instruction, more administrative threats, and more students in the classes they teach--all with fewer resources, fewer rights, and fewer protections. Scripted curriculum de-skills teachers and rewards students for passivity, not critical thinking. In this article, the author urges teachers to organize and fight back. (ERIC). |
