Colorado’s school testing opt-out movement
Re: “Why my kids played hooky from school tests,” May 4 Colorado Voices column.
As a retired educator, I understand why Kristen Kidd let her children play hooky from school tests. My wife and I saw no value for our youngest child to take the tests. The TCAP and CMAS have become the “tail wagging the dog” in all public schools in Colorado.
All parents of school-aged children in Colorado: Bring back the joy of learning by joining the opt-out movement.
