When Bill Gates and Achieve, Inc. hired the patronizing Armani-clad little fascist, David Coleman, to rewrite American school standards and content, they forgot one important consideration: what if their blitzkrieg succeeds and they rush into all the schools with their new computerized tests, only to find that the students refuse to participate in their unethical and dehumanizing child experimentation.
Well, guess what--that is exactly what is happening, as the throngs of test refusers of conscience grow daily. All across the county, the think tanks are churning, in search of the most effective ways to intimidate teachers, parents, and kids into backing down from what rationality and compassion demand.
District 109's superintendent has admitted the untried, unproven, and experimental nature of the PARCC treatment in a video that tries to intimidate teachers and parents into doing what they know is not in the best interest of children or their schools.

District 109's superintendent has admitted the untried, unproven, and experimental nature of the PARCC treatment in a video that tries to intimidate teachers and parents into doing what they know is not in the best interest of children or their schools.
"After this year, and even more so over the next two years, we will see if the PARCC proves out," Lubelfeld said in the video. "If PARCC is not a useful assessment, District 109 leaders will be among the first to speak out and use our resources to lobby legislators for change.
"Meantime, there is no other way to determine the value of PARCC testing other than for schools to give the test and for students to give their best effort when taking the test," he continued.
