Parents Boycott Testing of Four-Year-Olds.

This interview talks about a group of parents who boycotted the testing that was going to be administered to their young children. I like that in the interview even the principal said it was ridiculous and that she supported the parents. I think it is important for the parents and teachers to have the principal's support in times like this. Parents should stand up for their children so that people pushing these tests can have more resistance that is not just from the teachers.
