Oppose the proposed changes
 

As a 20+ year parent of public school students, I oppose the proposed changes to "accountability" measures. These proposed changes ignore the expertise of education researchers and leaders in pedagogy who understand the diversity of learners and how their backgrounds or levels of neurodiversity may impact these manufactured "standards" resulting in lessened accountability of provided services to ensure every student receives an equitable education based on needs, which our teachers more than any non-teacher understand best.
