The grassroots movement against high stakes testing incorporates students, parents, educators, and community members. Some organizations include other educational causes in their list of issues, but all agree that high stakes testing is an extremely flawed enterprise. In general, they believe that high stakes testing limits the classroom curriculum, disproportionately punishes minority students and schools, allocates valuable funds to private testing corporations, and inaccurately assesses student abilities and teacher performances. These organizations want to see a more inclusive, holistic form of evaluation that is used to actually help educators and their students. To make this change, grassroots members are opting out of high stakes tests, contacting legislators, disseminating information on testing problems, hosting community meetings, and much more. Their efforts have generated important dialogue around high stakes testing and have encouraged many politicians to push for a better system. However, opponents of high stakes testing must contend with the profit-seekers who support a move towards privatization. This is not an easy beast to defeat.
