Join CTS in Test Protest on the Steppes of Tweed Thursday, April 24th, 4PM

Bodies do count -- real bodies, not phony ones Eva closes her schools for. So if people help pack the steps of Tweed into overflow, it does make a difference. So, yes, I shall leave the comfort of my backyard and shlep into the city for the event - camera in holster. Hope to see you there.

Please join us for rally and press conference to demand Not One More Year Lost – Our Children are More than a Test Score!

WHEN:    Thursday, April 24th @ 4 PM

WHERE:  NYC Department of Education, 52 Chambers Street

WHO:      All families, educators, and supporters of educational justice

WHY: We will be uniting to demand policies that support our children and our schools.
What do we want?

- We want real learning every day NOT test prep

- We want transparent, developmentally appropriate and valid assessments
- We want child-centered, rich curriculum

- We want standards that truly support child learning

- We want funding for schools not for private testing companies

Make your own signs!!  Some of the themes for the action are:

- We demand REAL accountability from the top, not on the backs of our children

- Listen to the parents

- Release the test

- Our children and our jobs as teachers are NOT FOR SALE

- Keep the money in the classroom
