Wayne's Day | The Forum for Education and Democracy

Many of you have mentioned the pressures of preparing kids to take high stakes exams that are foisted on schools and teachers by No Child Left Behind legislation and other misguided efforts to improve education by testing and punishing schools who can't raise test scores. The author of this article is George Wood who 15 or so years ago was a professor of Education Administration at Ohio University. He was teaching his students how to become public school administrators and decided he did not have the experience to teach others how to run schools in these difficult times. He took a leave from his higher education position and became the principal of Federal Hocking High School. He still has that job as well as being the executive of "The Forum for Education and Democracy". I know George, he is an authentic, "what's-best-for-the-student" educator. Hear what he has to say about high stakes testing and pass it on to everyone who will listen.
