NYC Public School Parents: NY NAEP scores

We have had nine long years during which NY state and city education officials have relentlessly focused on high stakes testing, with school closings, grade retention, and teacher bonuses all linked to test scores. So according to data released today, what have been the results?

Test score tampering allegations are way up;

So are suspensions;

So are class sizes;

Meanwhile, our test scores on the most reliable national assessments are flat or declining.

So what do we need, according to NY education officials ? Better tests. Read it and weep.
