"It's always hard to tell for sure exactly when a revolution starts," wrote John Tierny in The Atlantic recently. "I'm not an expert on revolutions," he continued, "but even I can see that a new one is taking shape in American K-12 public education."
Tierney pointed to a number of signs of the coming "revolution:"
Teachers refusing to give standardized tests, parents opting their kids
out of tests, and students boycotting tests.
Legislators reconsidering testing and expressing concerns about
corruption in the testing industry.
