So, the real problem is that teachers have become sheep and are "going along to get along". Perpetuating this psychological abuse to children is the most evil kind of behavior. Teachers with moral courage will refuse to participate. The only option is to REFUSE to allow yourself to be used to bully children. Teachers, call in sick on test days, and use whatever covert means you can devise to help parents Opt Out by calling in their children sick on test days. The only way to stop bullying is to refuse to participate and take the power away from the bullies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175693073725309182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-43281107760893989012015-02-19T14:14:02.466-05:002015-02-19T14:14:02.466-05:00Oh my god.
