Now, across the country, students are walking out, parents are opting their children out, and teachers are refusing to administer these detrimental exams. In fact, the "reformers" today find themselves facing the largest revolt in U.S. history against high-stakes, standardized testing. More Than a Score (Haymarket Books) is a collection of essays, poems, speeches, and interviews — accounts of personal courage and trenchant insights — from frontline fighters who are defying the corporate education reformers, often at great personal and professional risk, and fueling a national movement to reclaim and transform public education. Editor Jesse Hagopian will be joined for a panel discussion by Portland Association of Teachers President Gwen Sullivan, student leader and More Than a Score contributor Alexia Garcia, and Madison High School teacher and Rethinking Schools editor Adam Sanchez.
