- Hear students describe how the onslaught of testing has forced art, music, gym, and recess out of the school day
- Hear teachers describe how testing violates trust between teachers and students and prevents deep relationship-building
- Hear school counselors and nurses describe the emotional and physical impact testing has on students
- Hear parents describe how testing has taken the joy out of their children’s school experience
- Learn exactly how much money and time is spent on testing annually in our schools
- Answer sample PSSA and Keystone test questions
- Hear how parents, teachers, and students are opting out of high stakes testing in Philly and across the country
