Correction- *165%* increase in amount spent on testing. In a time when US asks parents to pay for bus service & lays off teachers. #EdNatTTH
Education Nation @educationnation

StudentsFirst is handing out pamphlets. Don’t take them. They put students last -- no students on their board. #educationnation #ednattth
Liz @losangelista
Someone give that teacher a standing ovation for mentioning that creativity is decreasing as testing emphasis increases. #EDNatTTH
Randi Weingarten @rweingarten

Brian Williams: Does Sidwell Friends in DC have standardized tests? Do they measure teachers on it? No, no. Why? @educationnation #ednatth
