PARCC testing in NM: is all about the $1 billion

Read the news. Look at the numbers of students and parents outraged by Governor Martinez' greed. How many ultimatums has Skudera shilled onto our parents' shoulders and how many more teachers are going to have to be on the receiving end of our Governor's irresponsibility? We the people voted this woman into office. She works for us. This isn't a dictatorship.. We have a voice in the matter. If we choose to say "no" then we better be heard.

Many people who could make a difference make a big deal about the 200 million dollar "budget increase. How is it NOT about money? Responding about the numerous backlashes yet saying there is no problem from the parents because of previous standardized tests, they only discuss the pros/ cons and thank us for our feedback without any reasonable aknowledgement. Thanks for nothing.

Our Governor is basically saying that you have no rights or say so on the matter. That her campaign on our educational system is what you will have to adjust to and that they know better than you.
