Padres en Nueva York se unen a un movimiento nacional que rechaza los exámenes estandarizados bajo el nuevo estándar académico conocido como Common Core.
Over the past few years, parents of our students have become increasingly aware of the high stakes consequences associated with the ELA and Mathematics tests for 3rd through 8th grade children. Last year, a number of Baldwin parents opted to “refuse” the 3-8 state tests for their children.
While it would be inappropriate for an individual teacher to advise a parent on “opting-out” of the state tests, we hope that you can use this informational letter to help you form your own decision regarding your child’s educational experience. Please refer to the
"Gov. Walker, when you compared peaceful protestors to radical terrorists, you disrespected the service and sacrifice of the men and women who serve in our armed forces, and you insulted the citizens of Wisconsin who stood up to take part in our democracy.
As a veteran of the Iraq War and one of those protestors, I am asking you to publicly apologize for your callous and dishonorable remarks."
If you have had enough of governor's attacks, join us in standing up to him.
On Monday, March 2, join educators, parents, religious leaders. and labor community activists in a march to highligh the devastating immpact of Gov. Cuomo's budget plan for public schools and colleges. Stand up for what our kids need!
