Mike Antonucci on NYC’s “Opt-Out” Movement

From Intercepts:

Chalkbeat reports that 1,925 New York City students opted out of the state’s standardized tests in protest. That’s a 450% increase from last year. 

On the other hand, 410,000 city students took the tests, which means the opt-out students constitute less than one-half of one percent of the total. 

I hope they realize this, but we won’t know for sure because they didn’t take the math test.
