Standardized #tests and using the results to punish kids and educators has run its course. There is a growing consensus that this approach has reached its limits and may not adequately reflect the true abilities of students or the effectiveness of teachers.

Prioritizing test scores over the mental health of our children is unacceptable. Test anxiety shouldn't be the norm but the 3rd Grade Retention Law in TN has heightened it in our youngest students. This law mustn’t be changed. It should be repealed. @TNedu @tnsenate @TNHouseReps

STEAM Day for our high schoolers meant stops at the Germination & Transplantation Stations to “sow the seeds” of learning. Today they learned how to propagate & how to handle moving plants in preparation for a stint in our Hydroponics Tower.

@LarkinsVFL @JASArockets @suptking @JASA_IC @BrandyCopley11 @SuLuHard Excellent job, ladies!

Our JASA Rockets may be on Spring Break but their plants are growing tall! While arugula, kale, sweet peppers, lettuce & oregano enjoy our hydroponic tower, our seed germination before break is reaching for the sky! #GrowJASAGrow @JASArockets @JASA_IC @mwhitson14

Robotics is more than just #engineering! It’s #math, it’s #coding, it’s #problemsolving, it’s #communication! Love to see it. @JASA_IC , @HollyWh484 , @JASArockets - our robots will soon be driving without controllers!

[Shanda Wicker @ShandaWicker]

So proud of our @JASArockets kids! They’ve worked super hard to make this happen with the help of coaches Johnson & Bullard!
