Teaching to a test is not viable education, teaching to the test is killing public education, because what is being tested is not being taught in the classroom. Dr. Jesse One Man Walking Turner understands that our students and teachers are more than a test. He see's that public education is being dismantled, little by little by Pearson and other test content making corporations. Dr. Jesse Walking Man Turner decided to raise awareness of the dismantling by walking from his home town in Connecticut to Washington D.C. June 11 - July 24, 2015 connecting stories from public school students and parents.
Dr. Turner will be walking into Philadelphia from Camden Tuesday, July 7, 2015!! Crossing Ben Franklin Bridge 8:30am and walking to the People's Plaza Independence Mall by 10am. Then we will make our way to a BYO-Picnic at Sister Cities Park at about 12:45pm and end our day with a Parent and Educator Opt Out Organizing Meeting at Mander Playground 6-9pm. Empowering families and teachers is the goal!!
