Response to Student Protest

I am so proud of the students from Providence. The video below demonstrates their passion for social justice, their recognition of the inaccuracies of standardized testing, their courage to speak up... and their use of technology to document their efforts. The fact that I teach in a rural part of New Mexico, yet I have access to what these students are doing in Providence speaks volumes about our capabilities. We need to be inspired by these students and take action ourselves. We should be promoting critical thinking in our classrooms... dare I say, Free Thinking!
