This spring, more than a million American students are being subjected to experimental field tests devised by the federally funded testing consortium called PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers). The consortium received $186 million through Race to the Top to develop nationalized assessments tied to the top-down Common Core scheme. While thousands of parents are exercising their rights to pull their kids from the classroom in protest against the testing tyrants, many more kids are stuck.
And they’re tweeting about it. Here’s what the children are saying:
This PARCC test is the biggest waste of time?

Wrote a pretty nice essay for that dumb parcc test then it decided to erase itself. Oh well, doesn't effect me.

RT if you have to take the PARCC test. Favorite if you just didn't come to school.

And now it’s off to a miserable, Michelle Obama-approved, federally dictated lunch. Good luck, kids.
