Standardized - Lies, Money, and Civil Rights: How Testing is Ruining Public Education Cinnaminson Education Association

Please join us at Cinnaminson High School on Tuesday January 27th at 6:30 p.m. for a showing of the film "Standardized".

All students in NJ from 3rd grade through 11th grade are scheduled to take PARCC test this Spring. Many parents like myself are concerned about the impact of this high stakes testing on our students. Our third grade students will be in a testing for more than nine hours and the number increases with each grade. Please join us as we watch the documentary and join us for a Q & A after. We are very lucky that the Cinnaminson Education Association is inviting us to a screening of Standardized. I promise you will not be disappointed. There is an invitation online available at: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/standardized-lies-money-and-civil-rights-how... . We also have created an event on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/1528833797386266/ .  As parents, our children’s education is our responsibility.  Being informed helps us be empowered. We hope to see you there.
