ALBANY, N.Y. – New York State United Teachers President Andy Pallotta released the following statement today in support of U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s, NY-16, plan to bring balance and flexibility into federally required standardized testing.
“As a former teacher and principal, Congressman Bowman gets it. The current high-stakes testing regime emphasizes teaching to the test and harms students by ratcheting up their stress and anxiety. The congressman’s More Teaching, Less Testing Act would provide states with much-needed flexibility to achieve something that teachers, parents and students have been demanding for years: more time in school devoted to the simple joy of learning.”
New York State United Teachers is a statewide union with more than 600,000 members in education, human services and health care. NYSUT is affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and the AFL-CIO.
