This has been the most difficult school year in modern history. With losing loved ones to COVID-19, being forced out of classrooms, adapting to distance learning, and missing out on a year of regular social interactions—students have had their worlds turned upside down. The last thing they need is a stressful, ineffective standardized test. That’s why I’d like you to join me in NEA’s #CancelTheTest campaign by signing our national Union’s Open Letter demanding that high-stakes testing be cancelled this year. Our students need adults to understand their physical, social, mental, and emotional needs at this time—not just get unreliable two-dimensional data from a multiple- choice test. Add you signature to the Open Letter here:
