"Jesse Hagopian brought a rare moment of truth to the
corporate-dominated "Education Nation" show when he spoke on behalf
of his colleagues at Garfield High in Seattle. He instantly became
the voice and face of the movement to stop pointless and punitive
high-stakes testing."--Diane Ravitch, author of "Reign of
Terror"
In cities across the country, students are walking out, parents
are opting their children out, and teachers are rallying against
the abuses of high-stakes standardized testing.
These are the stories--in their own words--of some of those who
are defying the corporate education reformers and fueling a
national movement to reclaim public education.
Alongside the voices of students, parents, teachers, and
grassroots education activists, the book features renowned
education researchers and advocates, including Nancy
Carrlson-Paige, Karen Lewis, and Monty Neill.
Jesse Hagopian teaches history and is the Black Student Union
adviser at Garfield High School, the site of the historic boycott
of the MAP test in 2013. He is an associate editor of "Rethinking
Schools," and winner of the 2013 "Secondary School Teacher of Year"
award from the Academy of Education Arts and Sciences. He is a
contributing author to "Education and Capitalism: Struggles for
Learning and Liberation" and "101 Changemakers: Rebels and Radicals
Who Changed US History," and writes regularly for "Truthout,"
"Black Agenda Report," and the "Seattle Times" Op-Ed page.
