Test Prep/Diagnostics Gone Wild?

10. Opting out is the only power the people have left...

As far as I'm concerned, the testing mania (and Common Core and its inherent economies of scale) is driven primarily by one simple thing: standardized tests are profitable. And people can't match the corporations for $$$, so in my view, the main goal for those of us opposed to (Corporate) "reform" should be to increase the awareness/desire for parents to opt out of these (often ridiculous) tests. I've already wasted 5 days of the school year proctoring standardized tests. The taxpayers should be outraged I'm nothing but a (grossly) overpaid proctor for about 2 weeks a year...
