"The Bartleby Project begins by inviting 60,000,000 American students, one by one, to peacefully refuse to take standardized tests or to participate in any preparation for these tests; it asks them to act because adults chained to institutions and corporations are unable to; because these tests pervert education, are disgracefully inaccurate, impose brutal stresses without reason, and actively encourage a class system which is poisoning the future of the nation." - John Taylor Gatto

@ccsmotc That's just another threat the schools use. They use the prizes and food as "carrots" and threats of not getting a diploma, etc as the "stick". It's all a lie. You can't legally be forced to take these tests. But the schools don't want you to know that you can opt out. That's why they say stuff like that. How can they require that you take these tests for a diploma when absolutely NOBODY asks about them later in life? These tests are meaningless.

This is so true!! CAPTs are tomorrow, and this totally goes along with my idea to boycott them! XD

I dropped out of high school even before I ever knew about John Taylor Gatto or this project. I completely support this project. It's a crucial offense on the schooling of young people.

That's something that should be included in the video. :3 Without that sort of context it just appears that the author is paranoid about tests.

What is the down side of purely taking these tests? I understand the idea of being forced to do something you don't legally have to do has its problems, but I am curious about just the testing.
