The Seattle launch of More Than a Score: The New Uprising Against High-Stakes Testing took place at Elliott Bay Book Company, and was co-sponsored by Rethinking Schools and Haymarket Books.
Across the country, students are walking out, parents are opting their children out, and teachers are refusing to administer bad exams. In fact, the “education reformers” find themselves facing the largest revolt in US history against high-stakes, standardized testing.
More Than a Score is a collection of essays, poems, speeches, and interviews—accounts of personal courage and trenchant insights—from frontline fighters who are defying the corporate education reformers, often at great personal and professional risk, and fueling a national movement to reclaim and transform public education.
