Education Materials?

The “Youth Risk Behavior Survey” is a test given out to students across America.  It is not an opt in test, and most parents do not have the ability to opt out of the test.  With math and reading scores so low across New Hampshire why are we even giving this test to students?  Is it all about the money?  It would be nice if educators and administrators focused more on education and less on getting as much money for their schools no matter the costs to the students.   Schools have been hijacked by those with political agendas and a jobs program for unions to keep their buddies in place.

The following information was shared from Mass Resistance.org.  Some parents may find this information useful, but is the information even shared with the parents.  This is something parents should be discussing with their children if they choose.  The state aka the government has no business knowing most of this information.
