This document summarizes concerns about high-stakes standardized testing in New Mexico schools. It discusses how the state's waiver from No Child Left Behind led to tying school evaluations to test scores through a school grading system. It notes that teacher evaluations are also heavily based on student test performance. The document argues that standardized tests take away from learning, teach to the test, have developmentally harmful effects, and are an invalid way to evaluate students, teachers, and schools. It recommends that parents refuse to let their children take the tests to enact change in the system.
