✦ Synopsis

"Jesse Hagopian brought a rare moment of truth to the corporate-dominated Education Nation show when he spoke on behalf of his colleagues at Garfield High in Seattle. He instantly became the voice and face of the movement to stop pointless and punitive high-stakes testing."--Diane Ravitch, former US Assistant Secretary of Education, education historian, and best-selling author

In cities across the country, students are walking out, parents are opting their children out, and teachers are rallying against the abuses of high-stakes standardized testing.

These are the stories--in their own words--of some of those who are defying the corporate education reformers, and fueling a national movement to reclaim public education.

Alongside the voices of students, parents, teachers, and grassroots education activists, the book features renowned education researchers and advocates, including Diane Ravitch, Alfie Kohn, and Mark Naison.
