How FCAT Can affect a Students Life…

“Occupy Education”

Students, parents, educators, administrators, superintendents and school board members from around the state of Florida have continued over the years to say that the use of the FCAT test and its data is not positive for students.  A coalition of parents, educators, board members and community members from around the state have begun meeting to organize to make Florida voters and Florida citizens aware of the hours and tax payer dollars that are going to giving the test and not into student instruction.  Some of them have understandably been referring to their movement as “Occupy Education”.  Our own Citrus County School Board Member Pat Deutschman along with Orange County Rick Roach are two that are a part of this coalition.  You might remember me bogging about Mr. Roach last December for his own adventure in taking and failing the FCAT. (click here see Thomas’s blog post, “Orange County School Board Member Took FCAT”, Dec. 12, 2012)

Now Mr. Roach with the help of students at one Florida high school recently teamed up to produce an anti-FCAT video. Watch their video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej4evcUkcAc
