Across Massachusetts and in Malden we resist the MCAS.
Students are more than a score.
Refuse, it’s your choice.

Wise words from a Malden ESP:
“Massachusetts parents have rights on state testing. Children should not be forced to test or let a test score dictate who they are. Speak up for your children!” @massteacher @Mass_CPS @MTAGrassroots #lesstestingmorelearning #morethanascore
It's not rocket science, more like common sense: Time to listen to David Berliner, Et Al: How Public Schools Can Save Millions of Dollars https://t.co/0Imi1xl3qC via @dianeravitch #LessTestingMoreLearning
A Texas teacher calls out immoral budgets with no social workers, testing that invalidates students, language injustice, schools where students have to be heroes just to go to school

"CHS caters to a very unique set of students & standardized testing is not an accurate way to measure our students intelligence or abilities." -- @JadenPinet #OurCityOurSchools #LessTestingMoreLearning
TY @AFTMass @beth_kontos !“This year’s test results, as they do every year, reflect our failure as a society to support students living in high-poverty districts; they’re not a reflection of our students’ true potential.” @aftunion #FreedomToThrive https://t.co/4zDeZTuFt6
The MEA is co-sponsoring an MCAS opt-out rally with the Quincy Ed. Assoc., and @BeaBraintree to support our students because we know that our students are #morethanascore. Link below to sign up! #LessTestingMoreLearning #CancelMCAS https://t.co/yjNWDKH6t4
LIVESTREAM: Parents and Students: What if they gave the MCAS and no one came?

MCAS harms the students it is intended to help. Failing 10th grade math MCAS increases the likelihood that low-income, urban students will drop out. Many of these students experience repeated failures. https://t.co/IfILUieZ8f #maedu #lesstestingmorelearning @Mass_CPS @nbcsos
@Rrosa24Rrosa2 Parents, don’t send your children into a crowded classroom to take a useless test. You can say NO to MCAS without penalty in grades 3-8. Here’s a link to a brief video on 3 quick steps. https://t.co/wuusEgBp04 #maedu #lesstestingmorelearning @Mass_CPS @nbcsos
@FilerHistory Michelle, it seems that MA Dept of Education is totally out of touch with what is occurring in the schools. We need a wholesale change in our ED leadership #maedu #lesstestingmorelearning @Mass_CPS @nbcsos
In a recent survey, HS students say that their #1 source of stress is assessments, including tests. @MassEducation pays lip service to students’ mental health, but mandates days of MCAS tests when they return to school. Heartless! #lesstestingmorelearning @Mass_CPS @nbcsos
The MCAS is NOT harmless. A passing score is required for HS diploma. Since 2003, 38,000+ students have gotten to the end of their senior year without passing. Numbers alone don’t tell the whole story. Here’s Shawn’s story. #lesstestingmorelearning @Mass_CPS @nbcsos
The latest MCAS contract cost MA taxpayers $151 million. In the last 18 years, the test score gaps have not budged. It’s time to retire the failed MCAS & invest in strategies that work. #lesstestingmorelearning @Mass_CPS @nbcsos
@PeterTPiazza @Mass_CPS Now is the time to support opting out of MCAS - Action Network. #lesstestingmorelearning @Mass_CPS @nbcsos

@danvfrench @Mass_CPS @masseducation has hyped MCAS as a cure for education problems. They said it could help close the ach gap. It didn’t. They said it could evaluate teachers. It failed. Now, they’re saying it can ‘diagnose learning loss’ during COVID. It won’t! Cancel MCAS. #lesstestingmorelearning
