Berita Banyak guru melakukan upaya terakhir untuk memenuhi persyaratan MCAS

Para guru yang berserikat melakukan salah satu upaya terakhir mereka pada hari Sabtu untuk meyakinkan para pemilih di Massachusetts agar menghapus persyaratan kelulusan MCAS bagi siswa sekolah menengah, dengan alasan hanya tiga hari sebelum Hari Pemilihan bahwa tes tersebut merugikan siswa dan pendidik.

Pada rapat umum pemungutan suara di luar markas besar Asosiasi Guru Massachusetts di Quincy, presiden organisasi tersebut, Max Page, mengatakan bahwa para guru sedang mencoba untuk “merebut kembali ruang kelas” dan kembali ke “pembelajaran otentik” melalui pemungutan suara. pertanyaan yang menghilangkan persyaratan pengujian untuk siswa kelas sepuluh.

“Itulah yang membuat sistem pendidikan publik kita begitu hebat, mendukung pendidik kita, mendukung sekolah kita, membiarkan guru mengajar, membiarkan siswa belajar,” katanya sambil mengecam kelompok yang menentang pertanyaan yang telah menarik dana dari New York. miliarder Michael Bloomberg.

Undang-undang yang diusulkan, yang terutama didukung oleh Asosiasi Guru Massachusetts, akan menghilangkan persyaratan bahwa siswa harus lulus MCAS untuk menerima ijazah sekolah menengah atas, menurut ringkasan yang disiapkan oleh Kantor Jaksa Agung Andrea Campbell.

Alih-alih mengikuti tes, siswa harus menyelesaikan kursus yang disertifikasi oleh distrik mereka sebagai bukti penguasaan matematika, sains dan teknologi, bahasa Inggris, dan bidang lain yang ditentukan oleh Dewan Dasar dan Pendidikan negara bagian.

Unjuk rasa di Quincy terjadi ketika lebih dari sepertiga pemilih terdaftar di Massachusetts telah memberikan suara mereka baik melalui pos atau secara langsung di lokasi pemungutan suara awal, menurut data yang dirilis Jumat oleh Kantor Menteri Luar Negeri William Galvin.

Senator Jason Lewis, seorang Demokrat Winchester yang ikut mengetuai Komite Pendidikan Legislatif, mengatakan jika pertanyaan pemungutan suara lolos, ia yakin diskusi yang lebih luas akan dilakukan untuk menentukan cara terbaik menilai sekolah dan bagaimana negara meminta pertanggungjawaban mereka.

“Sistem itu juga rusak. Sistem itu perlu direformasi,” katanya di hadapan anggota serikat pekerja di Quincy. “Kami membutuhkan sebuah sistem bagi siswa kami, bagi guru kami, dan sekolah kami yang memperlakukan mereka dengan rasa hormat yang layak mereka dapatkan dan yang adil serta setara bagi semua siswa kami, semua pendidik kami di seluruh negara persemakmuran.”

Penentang pertanyaan ini berpendapat bahwa penghapusan persyaratan kelulusan MCAS akan menghilangkan satu-satunya “penilaian yang adil, seragam, dan berlaku di seluruh negara bagian” bagi siswa di Massachusetts dan sebaliknya memungkinkan setiap distrik sekolah untuk merancang peraturan kelulusannya sendiri.

“Hal ini akan menghasilkan lebih dari 300 standar kelulusan yang berbeda, yang mengarah pada penilaian yang tidak setara terhadap kesiapan siswa untuk kuliah dan karir serta kesenjangan yang lebih luas dalam prestasi dan peluang siswa,” ujar kampanye Protect Our Kids' Future: Vote No on 2. .

Kelompok ini telah mengumpulkan lebih dari $5 juta tahun ini, termasuk $2,5 juta dari Bloomberg, menurut catatan dana kampanye negara.

Auditor Negara Diana DiZolgio, yang mendukung upaya untuk menghapus persyaratan pengujian, mengatakan dia berasal dari keluarga yang mengalami “kekerasan dalam rumah tangga yang signifikan” dan dianggap sebagai siswa tunawisma oleh Sekolah Menengah Methuen.

Selama tahun keduanya, DiZoglio mengatakan dia berpindah-pindah antar anggota keluarga. Itu adalah tahun yang sama ketika pejabat sekolah mulai memberi tahu para siswa “bahwa jika Anda tidak lulus ujian ini, semua yang telah Anda lakukan sampai saat ini akan dibuang,” katanya kepada orang banyak di Quincy.

“Saya ingat saat itu saya merasa sangat cemas akan hal itu sehingga saya serius berpikir untuk putus sekolah seperti yang dilakukan orang tua saya,” katanya. “Saya merasa sangat cemas saat mengikuti tes karena ada banyak tekanan, dan terlalu banyak tekanan untuk mendapatkan tekanan tersebut, dan tekanan untuk memastikan bahwa semua keadaan keluarga ditangani di rumah.”

Namun para penentang pertanyaan ini berpendapat bahwa standar tunggal yang berlaku di seluruh negara bagian penting bagi Massachusetts untuk “mempertahankan standar pendidikan yang tinggi sehingga anak-anak kita paling siap untuk kuliah dan berkarir.”

“Menipisnya standar-standar tersebut berarti bahwa banyak siswa tidak akan memiliki keterampilan yang mereka perlukan dalam matematika, bahasa Inggris, atau sains untuk berhasil,” kata kampanye Protect Our Kids' Future: Vote No on 2.
