Hi there to every one, its genuinely a fastidious for me to go to see this website, it includes important Information.
I think South Park had it right; if this movie is so "important" and "life-changing", why isn't it being released online, to everyone, for free? If it's so imperative that children see this movie, put it on Facebook or Youtube; putting it in a theatre behind a 10$ paywall isn't helping anyone see this.
You know why it's a theatrical release? Because the makers of the film are hypocrites, and are trying to make money off of this, instead of doing the right thing and making it free-to-watch. Screw them, and I can't wait for people to pirate it so I can watch it online for free.
South Park is always right
Many thanks for bringing light to the darkness of high stakes testing! I have yet to read a single study which shows a benefit to students of this misuse of a test and scores. Yet it prevails...politics anyone?
