"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.
