Testing to assess student needs & to support classroom learning is one thing; using STAAR scores in a convoluted accountability system to rank & punish public schools is malpractice by TEA/state gov’t esp during a pandemic that is negatively impacting students, teachers.
After talking with principals across the nation and observing our local educators...I need every responsible adult to contact their state commissioners of education and demand a complete halt on state-sponsored standardized testing this year.

The work teachers are doing right now is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The resilience, courage, passion and determination they are showing leaves me speechless. Honestly...it’s heroic. And why do they do it? They love your kids. @CyFairISD#TeamAult#teachersdeserveit
