Re: hypocritical? necessary?

George,

What a great idea - and when Peggy Bryan, principal of a school in San Jose,
did that almost 70% of her parents opted out of the exam - once they
understood what the issues were...who knows?  Maybe that will happen as a
result of your article!

I don't see a way out of this dilemma, because whatever I do they are
subject to the tests. The best idea I've had so far is to write an article
for the local paper on why I will give the test. The article will be an
opportunity to tell what's wrong with the whole testing system and to
inform parents of their right to opt out. I don't have to test the children
who opt out. And if enough choose to do so, maybe that will help to end the
whole STAR system.
