"“We have an obsession with arbitrary testing metrics above all else, even in the middle of a pandemic that’s dislodged every facet of American life.” Congressman Jamaal Bowman, experienced teacher & principal and teacher, &member of the House Education Committee was outraged by the announcement that the Biden administration demands a resumption of annual testing. “It’s a mistake that reflects a broader problem in American education! We have an obsession with arbitrary testing metrics above all else, even in the middle of a pandemic that’s dislodged every facet of American life. We’ve forgotten that testing is one useful tool, and should not be the goal of education in and of itself.”
