Dear Friends,

I was just reading an article about some brave and committed teachers in Washington state. I urge you to take a look. This is exciting to me. A small band of teachers have decided that enough is enough. They are refusing to give the state math test, alleging that it is "not good for our students, nor is it an appropriate or useful tool in measuring progress." Amen. 

This is an act of courage. It is what it means to be "teacher leaders." It is looking in the face of authority and saying "no" for all the right reasons.

Take the time to read the full article at the link above. It will be worth it.

Until next time.
