While the UFT fights the opt-out movement, MORE works to help build it in partnership with parents.
For those of you not paying attention -- opt out is a defense of teachers under the gun of the testing movement which is designed to undermine our public schools and profession. See the reports of teachers being forced to reapply for their jobs at renewal schools and face deployment into the ATR pool.
Did you know that over 175,000 New York State families opted
their students out of high stakes tests this spring?
