Teacher Protests in Seattle
Please read the article on teacher protests of standardized testing in Seattle
In a 3 paragraph response you will be expected to explain what is happening in Seattle, your feelings about the protests, and whether or not you think this is an effective strategy
For your first paragraph please explain the events in the article (write as if I have not read the article)
Then write the extent to which you agree or disagree with what the teachers are doing
For your final paragraph please explain how you think this situation should best be handled. Should teachers be willing to face unpaid suspension for what they think is right? Should teachers attempt to make change in another, possibly more effective, way? Is this a good example of peaceable change? Think about Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" as you write your response
