#standardizedtests — Public Fediverse posts

Everyone is #stressed and for good reason. For #educators this time of year adds additional stressors: mandatory #standardizedtests are upon us. Worse, it’s when the bad #budget news is shared. And it’s *always* bad. It appears my school lost #title1 despite our unchanged population. We again have to staff and schedule with a kind of creative genius those in #government would boggle at - behold as we squeeze blood from a stone! As #teachers hold it together with duct tape and #grit! #newmexico

When k-12 teachers go on strike, I always have mixed thoughts.

When I read the demands of the teachers who strike I dually note them, and it all makes sense ( my spouse is an educator--- a sub-- and is treated very poorly on account of being Autistic), YET, the way strikers are going about it is poorly organized.

I think that bringing parents of students into the fight is IMPERATIVE.

The teachers are not the victims of the students. As exploited and manipulated as teachers are, it will never equate the oppression of youth.

Teachers won't be ultimately successful at striking, and winning those strikes, unless they bring their students, and students' families into that fight.

A teacher can't be arrested for repeatedly not showing up to work. A teacher won't lose custody of their family for not showing up to work. Parents do lose custody of children for repeat truancy. Students do have to show up to court for repeated truancy.

(This next part is especially toward educators)

NORMALIZE STUDENTS NOT SHOWING UP TO SCHOOL. NORMALIZE STUDENTS PROTESTING THAT SYSTEM.

Don't over explain and explain and explain how you're undervalued as an educator and then in a different post, talk about the problems of truancy and students "giving up".

It seems like you had no problem with being part of the school to prison pipeline as long as it benefitted you.

You all sound like you want increased pay and benefits for being the children's prison guards

Hypocrisy and double standards smell worse than fresh dogs' droppings on a hot summer day.

#Newfoundland & Labrador has once again cancelled standardized end-of-year exams for the current school year. We call them publics. Do any other provinces still hold these? “The public exam system as it existed pre-COVID 19 may no longer meet the educational needs of #students,” says a release from the dept. https://www.gov.nl.ca/releases/2022/education/1123n08/ #education #standardizedtests #studentassessment #school #student
