HB 8 would replace 1 STAAR test w/ THREE STAAR tests a year. Don’t be fooled by the claim that HB 8 eliminates the STAAR. If anything, it replaces it w/ a big black hole that sucks all remaining joy out of the classroom. We need less testing in our neighborhood schools, not more
“Here’s an idea: Fund schools adequately - lavishly - and pay teachers well. Leave them to teach the children in their care, not make them play incessant accountability games.” - Steve Nelson https://t.co/kxhdaKAebT

This video epitomizes the testing madness being put on children across this country.
Listen to the stress being imposed upon children and the focus being diverted away from actual learning and tragically toward test taking. #LetKidsBeKids #EndTestingMadness
A single test on a single day shouldn’t dictate a student’s future. Hear from 5 students on what their experiences with the SHSAT were like.
