A group of parents in Texas has filed suit against the state education agency to stop the use of this year’s scores to punish students and schools.
The legislature passed a law requiring the tests to be shortened, but the state education agency did not comply.
Its failure to abide by the law invalidates the tests, the parents believe.
Commissioner Mike Morath does not agree and intends to use the test results for accountability purposes, continuing the test obsession in Texas.

This is exactly what it is going to take! Happy Summer everyone! I’m on my Teacher Work Day!!!
Education departments, ironically, with little respect for the rule of law.
But a powerful lesson in the rheeality, and reality, of corporate education reform.
