This is ridiculous!
I don't want to hear the propaganda. This LEAP exam is impacting our students! Way too many of them.

These changes/improvements - not buying them.

How many kids are left in 4th grade or 8th grade b/c they aren't good test takers, but they can do everything else?

This is unfair! It's biased! And it's a shame that not enough people in Baton Rouge (Black and White) care enough to do something about it.

Instead, most Baton Rouge parents just send their kids to private school and turn the other cheek to such an atrocity.
Why? B/c we believe that it's not going to affect us.

What a cop-out! What a shame!

One day, we will all realize that these same children that we are ignoring and turning our cheeks to will one day shape and mold our future. In one way or another. It will happen.

And yes. I will do something about it. Like Call Mr. Pastorek himself. But I probably will get his voicemail and they'll probably just ignore me.

But I'll just have to keep on calling. And hopefully, many of you will too.

And how is it even remotely fair that students matriculating at private schools are NOT subjected to these types of tests? Must be nice to have a rich parent.

I wonder if Pastorek's kids were products of public school systems???? Better yet- new rule! If you work in government or at the LA Dept. of Education, your child must go to public school.

Just think - If you were OR one of your kids/grandkids were forced to take this type of test at grades 4 and 8 and failed? What would you do? What would you do if there were NO private schools? Would you be more interested in what Pastorek, et al has to say? Would you be motivated to make changes? What would you do?

Do something. Just because things don't impact you personally or directly, doesn't mean that they won't EVER impact you later on down the road.
