Getting real numbers on what children are
learning...Graduation rates are completely skewed
when students are coming out not ready for
college or technical education.
-Chris H.
Support teaching foundational skills only in
primary grades. We are PUSHED to instead teach
and test comprehension skills. The result is 3rd
grade not reading on grade level.
-Deborah C.
Teach Quality and affordable Pre-K for all of
TN students. If we believe reading by 3rd grade
sets up for future success, early literacy options
have to be a priority in all Districts.
-Andrea M.
State testing and what we consider standards...
look at shifting the landscape of government
education since it hasn’t really changed since
the late 19th century!!
