Momma Bears spills the beans & makes new friends

6/11/2014

One of our Momma Bear bloggers was flattered to be invited to speak at the State Education Editors convention in Denver, Colorado last week.  You'll never guess who she sat next to on the flight home... a charter school teacher who just quit!  Divine intervention?  You decide.  Here is her blog about the trip:

SPEAKING DEBUT...
Picture
Thursday, I was cleaning up macaroni and cheese noodles.  24 hours later I was in a 4-star hotel giving a speech to a convention room full of really important people.  I kept thinking "somebody pinch me" so I would wake up.  All these people seemed to want to hear what I had to say (or if they didn't, they were really good at hiding it).

My speech was called "Listen to your Mommas!".  This was my first real public speaking engagement.  To say I was nervous is an understatement!  Even though my presentation was an hour and fifteen minutes long, I didn't see anyone's eyes glazing over or notice anyone playing candy crush on their phones.  The audience members were all smiling and nodding along with the things I said.  Since technology and I sometimes have issues, I was thankful that my PowerPoint presentation worked flawlessly.  I don't think I stammered or said "like, um, like, uh, ummm..." (I was like really scared I would umm like end up like doing that like some people do when, uh, you know, they like get nervous).  I made it through my presentation and was flabbergasted to receive a standing ovation.   

So, what did I talk about?  
I told them about the magical way that some ordinary moms in Tennessee came together and how we started Momma Bears. Less than one year ago, we launched our Momma Bears website & blog.  The first month, we were ecstatic to reach 50 readers on our blog... Now, 11 months later, we are amazed to have had over 800,000 readers!  Seriously, we're just moms who have no clue what we're doing.  We've spent a whopping $17 total for the website domain name.  That's it. 

I also spoke about what we've accomplished through our blog and social media... how we've educated parents on many issues and forced inappropriate surveys to be stopped in school districts.  We've encouraged parents to take action with easy steps and links to contact elected officials.  We've supported teachers and shared their voices when they do not have the freedom to speak up.  We've been a voice for students, parents, & teachers. 

(*I'll post a link to my PowerPoint presentation at the end of this blog so you can see my mastery of PowerPoint.  If you want, you can click through the slides and pretend you were there.)

Surprise!
A few were astonished to learn that Momma Bears are opposed to Common Core, so they asked quite a few questions about why.  They seemed surprised that we're not extremist, radicals, Tea party, crazy, misinformed, or ignorant like the politicians portray opponents of the core to be.  We just don't fit in to that stereotype that Arne Duncan and the reformers have labeled us to discredit us.  We're normal moms concerned about our children's education.  I supported our positions against common core with evidence and facts.  And I told them, "Don't believe me:  read the Race to the Top agreement (and especially Appendix C) and decide for yourself."  One person joked that I knew more facts and information than their company's research department, and asked me how on earth I knew all of this.  I told them it was because the Momma Bears research and share information.  We read a lot of other bloggers, too, and I told them about the many awesome ones out there (they are listed on the PowerPoint).  I even quoted some of our favorite bloggers including: Diane Ravitch, Mercedes Schneider, Mother Crusader, Edushyster, and my new personal favorite: Curmuducation.

I couldn't talk about the Momma Bears without talking about the BATs.  If you don't know about the BATs, you should.  Don't let the name scare you, BAT is an acronym for "Badass Teacher Association." The BATS are a force to be reckoned with and they won't be ignored. The BAT movement started about the same time as Momma Bears last summer and has since grown to nearly 50,000 members!  There are now groups for special BATs, State groups, secret BATs, retired BATs, and even BAT Parents!  Like the Momma Bears, the BATs have advocated with little or no money.  Our success has come thanks to the power of social media and people who put their foot down and said "Enough!"  Warning: if you see a teacher with a BAT symbol in her classroom or on her clothing, you know she's committed to fighting for her students and her profession.  Momma Bears have the utmost respect for the BATs.    

I also talked about bad teachers.  I asked the audience to think of the worst teacher they ever had.  Did you learn something from him/her?  Did you learn how to deal with difficult people? (because we're all going to have to deal with a difficult person at some point in our lives whether it is a teacher, boss, family member, neighbor, IRS agent, 3 year old toddler throwing a tantrum, etc.)  Did you learn patience, tolerance, compassion, or that you're not as smart as you thought you were from your "bad" teacher?  Was your worst teacher someone else's favorite teacher? (mine was).  You just can't put a numerical rating on the worth of teachers. I spoke about how teachers are unfairly targeted and blamed in our society, and how we need to elevate and respect the teaching profession. We need to give them the support they need to teach.  Lots of heads nodded, so I am pretty sure I was preaching to the choir.  I think someone even said "Amen!" (or maybe it was a cough?)

To close out my presentation, I quoted one of my brave BAT friends who said, "We enjoy the shade of trees that we did not plant".  The public schools are our trees.  They were created before we were born with the intention of them lasting indefinitely for future generations.  The reformers are chopping down those trees, though.  When you chop down trees, you can't just put them back and have shade again.  We must protect our public schools for our children.  Don't let the reformers chop them down to make a quick buck.  Public schools belong to the public.

MY AWESOME BUMPY FLIGHT HOME
So, after nearly missing my flight home because of the crowded airport and, of course, being selected for a random security check (because I guess I looked like someone who builds bombs?)  I rush like a BAT out of youknowwhere to get to the plane (because the gate is of course at the very end just my luck), and made it in the nick of time only to find out our flight was delayed due to thunderstorms.  We eventually took flight and, of course, the plane started bumping as it went through turbulence.  Now, I'm not fond of roller coasters, but I am usually okay if I keep my mind on something else.  The young woman next to me seemed to be a little worried, though, so I struck up a conversation with her to get her mind off the flight.  Lo and behold, I find out she is a teacher!  or, she WAS a teacher.  Sadly, she burned out after 5 years of teaching, some in public schools and some in charter.  She did not seem to mind that I asked her a bunch of questions.  She even said I could blog about her if I didn't use her name.  So, here is the sad, but hopeful, story of the teacher I flew with.

Picking her brain...
Why did you leave teaching?  Is there anything that would convince you to stay?  What would you change if you could?  "Support" was her answer.  She told about having virtually no support, from administrators in the building or from the program she went through to get a job (TNTP).  She said she broke away from the teacher placement agency as soon as she could, and continued to teach for several years.  She told of the bad leadership at the charter school she worked for, and the extremely strict discipline.  She said she tried to talk to students, to relate with them on a personal level, and she believes that because she did that, she didn't have the behavior problems like other teachers seemed to have.  Even so, she said students at that charter school were not allowed to talk, it was like they were little prisoners.  She told me how kindergartners in the charter school were held back a grade level due to mediocre test scores, but how those kindergartners were really ready for first grade.  She suspected the charter school just did it to boost their test scores.  


Her eyes lit up when she talked about wanting to help students with special needs, just like her nephew.  I felt her pain when she told about how frustrated she was that she couldn't get the help for students that she knew they needed.  I wanted to give her a high-five when she told me how she secretly talked to parents after IEP meetings and told them they needed to keep fighting and what to do to help their child... because parents just don't know the system or what their child is entitled to.

After 5 years of teaching and high evaluation scores, she was just burned out.  She was moving north to accept a job working as a consultant, and she was also seriously considering returning to law school to become a lawyer to fight for SPED students.  I hope she does.  They need her voice.  And I hope our paths cross again someday.  I believe it wasn't a coincidence that she was on that flight in that seat next to me.

Update:  Inappropriate Climate Surveys in TN

2/7/2014

 
Our website has been on fire!  With over 55,000 views in less than a week, parents are spitting mad about the inappropriate Climate Surveys we blogged about (Click HERE to read that blog).  We've been swamped trying to respond to all the comments, media, and elected officials. Here's the update:
Picture
Here is what we found out about the Climate Surveys:
  • They have been given since 2010 in TN.  Some schools gave them in the fall.
  • Some districts may have notified parents, but most did not (note: we haven't heard from any parents who were notified about these surveys, and we've heard from a lot of parents.  We don't think they intended to notify parents until parents got wind of what was going on.) 
  • Principals and school districts are being blamed for not notifying parents before the surveys were given, but that does not change the fact that it was still an inappropriate survey created by and given by the TNDOE.
  • "Active" consent is different than "passive" consent.  "Active" consent means you have to opt-IN.  "Passive" consent means you have to opt-OUT.  Momma Bears has identified a new kind of consent:  "Sneaky-passive consent" = parents aren't even told that these surveys are happening until our kids tell us they already took it.  SCARY TRUTH:  Parents don't know they can refuse these surveys because they aren't ever informed they are happening.
  • There are so many new mandates coming from the top (TN Department of Education and from local districts, too) that Principals and teachers are giving surveys & tests that they've never seen before.  And with the volatile environment and job insecurity, they are afraid to speak up.  It is all coming too fast and without parental input.  That's a problem.  A big problem.  We are glad that some legislators agree with this.  Momma Bears hopes that there are some swift changes with the TN Commissioner of Education and TN Board of Education (they are appointed by the Governor) because they are getting too big for their britches.  There are way too many business and unqualified Teach For America people being paid huge salaries in the TNDOE, and not enough real teachers and educators in those roles.
Picture
Follow up to what happened when Mom met with the Principal:  
I met with my child's Principal, whom I hold in high regard, and he told me his hands were tied on the Climate Survey. It was easy to see that he was upset about it. After a little prompting, he has decided to put upcoming tests and/or surveys in the weekly school memos. I am really excited about that. More opportunity to opt out if needed. He didn't bat an eye when I told him I didn't want my child to take the TRIPOD (another survey with demographic questions. Click HERE to read a previous Momma Bear blog on TRIPOD). He said he is tracking the number of hours spent on tests and prep for tests, because he wants to put the focus back on learning, not testing.

I mentioned there was a kid in my child's class who told the teacher he thought the questions were inappropriate and the teacher AGREED, but told him he needed to take it anyway. The principal looked disturbed by that. I think he is going to rattle a few cages and is thankfully one of the best middle schools in TN, so maybe he won't get axed.


Is this Common Core???
The TNDOE will, of course, say that the intrusive collection of student data is not common core.  They will then try to hypnotize you with this chant until your eyes glaze over: 
"Common core is just rigorous standards...
          Common Core is just rigged (oops) standards...
                    Common Core is just rigorous standards..."    Namaste.
Then, they will pass the blame on one of these scapegoats:  
  • poor implementation of common core, 
  • teachers who aren't yet trained in the common core voodoo magic,
  • dumb parents who are too stupid to understand the new mysterious math methods (because they prefer the simple old ways that worked)
  • the companies that make the new common core curriculum 
Pinch yourselves, people, and wake up!  Momma Bears has read the Race to the Top Application and Appendix C.  You can't argue with the facts.  Common Core is inseparable from the testing and data collecting.  Don't believe us, read it for yourself.  See how TN plans to create a "360 degree view of each child."  Read how they plan to collect all sorts of information on every child (including information that spans other agencies like social services and welfare).  Then read how the FERPA law was changed to allow 3rd parties to be able to access all this personal data without parental permission.  
Picture
Still in the La-La-Land of Denial???  There's more:
Parents were surprised to learn that their children answered some personal questions on the TCAP Writing Assessment this past week (these questions were separate from the Climate Surveys.  Students couldn't skip them and they were not anonymous).  Parents had no clue.  These questions were tied to our children's names and ID numbers so they weren't anonymous.  The questions seem harmless enough (Do you have a computer at home? internet? How often do you write? etc.), but the fact that our children were asked questions without our knowledge makes the Momma Bear fur stand up on our necks yet again (especially after reading Appendix C of the RTTT Application).  How far will they push with asking our kids personal questions without telling us???  They've lost our trust already with the Climate Surveys, Tripod Surveys, Gaggle, and PLAN assessments they didn't tell parents about.  Plus, the fact that Momma Bears has contacted the TNDOE 3 times and still not heard any response makes us even more apprehensive and suspicious.

One Momma Bear asked her child's principal about these surveys and this was the conversation:

    Mom:  "My concern is about the survey that my son had to take this week, can I get a copy of that?"

    Principal:  "I don't think that will be a problem, the questions were just about writing."

    Mom:  "My concern is that you had my son take a survey without parental consent."

    Principal:  "I can tell you this is the same survey they have taken for years."

    Mom:  "So, you are telling me for years you have had children do a survey without parental consent?"

    Principal:  "Can I contact the district office about this?"


What can you do?
  • Check with your school district to see what surveys are being given.
  • Opt your children out of surveys.
  • Opt your children out of standardized tests, pretests, and assessments.
  • Ask your elected legislators to get rid of common core.
  • Ask your elected legislators to vote to support these bills
  • Sign this petition to get rid of common core in TN.
  • Sign this petition to get rid of the appointed TN Commissioner of Education
What's next?
Some parents have spoken with attorneys and are pursuing legal action.  If you feel your rights have been violated, contact us and we'll put you in touch with that group.

Good news!
Representative Sheila Butts just introduced a bill in TN that would require that parents be informed of all tests (and she says the bill will be amended to include surveys) before they are given to their children.  Contact your legislator and ask them to support it. HB2167/SB2404 is the Bill.  Click HERE to find your legislators and their contact info.  They need to hear from Momma Bears and Daddy Bears in TN. 


Not with my kids, you don't!!!

1/28/2014

 
Some parents in Tennessee were SHOCKED to hear what their 5th grade children were asked at school.  And it wasn't asked by another student.  It was asked by the STATE of TENNESSEE!
Picture
A furious TN mother tells this story:
My 5th grader took the PARCC practice today. Then she said they logged out of the PARCC writing and opened up a survey that asked if they have ever done drugs. One question we all were puzzled with - and I keep thinking- maybe she remembered wrong... "Have you ever been bullied for being nonsexual?" She did not even know what that meant.  It was awful. 

Our mouths were wide open as she poured out these grave details at dinner. The kids were all laughing and giggling and the teachers had to keep redirecting them to the survey. One girl was so struck by this question she fell out of her seat and rolled on the floor with giggles. They did not know what it meant. They thought it was funny. Then the questions - did you smoke pot? Do any drugs? Drink? They were all giggling and wondering what would happen if they all answered yes.  

My husband and I were horrified.

There were questions my child did not want to answer and tried to skip. But, the computer made them answer something before moving on.  This is troubling to me as well.  


So WHY were children asked these questions???
Well, the Tennessee Department of Education was awarded a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Education to "support district and school measurement of, and targeted programmatic interventions to improve, conditions for learning." (Note: Momma Bears have come to realize that a "Government Grant" ALWAYS has strings attached.  It means they will do things that we wouldn't allow them to do without the grant money as bribery, like Racing to the Top, common core, and paying outrageous salaries to "consultants").  Tennessee is one of 11 states that were awarded this grant, but Tennessee is the only state that has developed its own survey to determine conditions for learning and that intend to "connect academic data to the conditions for learning data."  

Anyway, this grant awarded by the US Department of Education (that's important to note, file that in the back of your head) paid for a slick website, some people to create invasive surveys to anonymously collect personal information about our children, and staff to run the program.  Government wastefulness and invasion of privacy at its finest, ladies and gentlemen! (Click HERE to see the website for yourself)

What were those questions that had students giggling in embarrassment and parents blushing in horror? 
Momma Bears found the surveys.  There are 2 different surveys (Middle School & High School), each containing 88 personal questions.  We couldn't really tell a difference between the 2 surveys, other than the title page.  
Asked of 5th graders:
"During this school year, how often has anyone called you an insulting or bad name at school having to do with...
...your sexuality?"  (These are 10 year old children!!!)
...your religion?"  (None of the government's business!)
...your weight or physical appearance?"  (Are you trying to give the kids an inferiority complex?)
...how much money your family makes?"  (Again, none of your beeswax, government!)

"In the last 30 days, I...
...used or tried tobacco products"
...drank alcohol"
...drank five or more servings of alcohol in a row"
...used or tried maijuana"
...used or tried other drugs or substances to get high"

"I think that...
...students are sometimes distracted in class because they are drunk or high." (some children don't know what "high" means!)
...it makes me uncomfortable when other students bring drugs or alcohol to school or school-sponsored events."  (really? well, let's just plant some ideas in their young minds!)

And, in case students don't know what these terms mean, they go ahead and educate them by including all sorts of examples at the top of the survey.  If your child didn't know they could sniff products to get high, they sure know now...  Thank you, government!

NOTE:  Not every school district in TN is giving these climate surveys (Click HERE to see if your county does)  This climate survey is NOT a part of the common core PARCC testing.  It just happened that this school gave both the climate survey as the same day as the common core writing assessment.

Did we mention that PARENTS WERE NOT NOTIFIED OR EVEN ASKED FOR CONSENT BEFORE THEIR CHILDREN WERE GIVEN THESE SURVEYS?  Sorry, Momma Bears isn't yelling (although, we're pretty steaming mad over this!).  That part in capital letters is very important.  Because, you see, the State of TN and that school have broken a law.
(Note: The Mom above is unsure if she or her husband gave permission at the beginning of the year with all the registration forms they signed. If they did, they certainly did not understand the types of questions that would be asked of their child.)

The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) clearly states that parents must give WRITTEN consent BEFORE any surveys funded by the U.S. Department of Education are given to minor children:
The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232h; 34 CFR Part 98) applies to programs that receive funding from the U.S. Department of Education (ED). PPRA is intended to protect the rights of parents and students in two ways:

  • It seeks to ensure that schools and contractors make instructional materials available for inspection by parents if those materials will be used in connection with an ED-funded survey, analysis, or evaluation in which their children participate; and

    It seeks to ensure that schools and contractors obtain written parental consent before minor students are required to participate in any ED-funded survey, analysis, or evaluation that reveals information concerning:
    1. 1. Political affiliations;
      2. Mental and psychological problems potentially embarrassing to the student and his/her family;
      3. Sex behavior and attitudes;
      4. Illegal, anti-social, self-incriminating and demeaning behavior;
      5. Critical appraisals of other individuals with whom respondents have close family relationships;
      6. Legally recognized privileged or analogous relationships, such as those of lawyers, physicians, and ministers; or
      7. Income (other than that required by law to determine eligibility for participation in a program or for receiving financial assistance under such program).
Parents or students who believe their rights under PPRA may have been violated may file a complaint with ED by writing the Family Policy Compliance Office. Complaints must contain specific allegations of fact giving reasonable cause to believe that a violation of PPRA occurred.

For additional information or technical assistance, you may call (202) 260-3887 (voice). Individuals who use TDD may call the Federal Information Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339. Or you may contact us at the following address:

(click HERE to visit the US Department of Education website where we found that law)

Okay, so some parents may be thinking... "What's the big deal?  It is a rough world out there. Those kids will learn about illegal drugs and sex soon enough."  Well, some parents have conservative values and we don't want our children exposed to these topics at this age or in this manner.  Parents should be the ones doing the educating about those issues, not the government.  Parents should be the ones to decide when that time is right for their child. 

And some parents may be thinking... "What's the big deal?  Those were anonymous surveys so they aren't really collecting personally identifiable data on my child."  Someone is collecting that information to use for some purpose.  And the time spent taking the 88 question survey is time that our kids could be learning.  Anonymous or not, Momma Bears are suspicious of surveys given to our kids.  Momma Bears has another personal Demographic Survey that we bet you didn't know about, and this one has each student's name directly tied to their answers:  


THE PLAN PRE-TEST ASSESSMENT:
The PLAN PRE-TEST is given to 10th graders in TN to predict how they will do on the all-important ACT college entrance exam.  These are definitely NOT anonymous.  When students take this PLAN test, they are asked about an hour's worth of demographic questions.  Parents aren't allowed to see those questions, but our children told us there are questions about: religious denomination, class schedule, address, GPA, Honors, if your parents are divorced, who do you live with, ethnicity/race, etc.  Like the computerized climate surveys above, students could not skip questions they didn't want to answer.  Not only are there personal questions, districts can also develop up to 30 local questions to add to the demographic survey part. (Click HERE to read more about the PLAN).  

It is important to note that:
  • A business could never ask those questions of someone applying for a job.
  • Adults have more protections than students do.
  • The penalty for breaking the PPRA law is a slap on the wrist.

Where is this information going?  Who knows.  Is it safe?  Nothing is safe these days.  Even major retail stores, like Target, and major Banks can't keep personal information secure.  In fact, click HERE to see some scary security violations with students' personal information recently here in Tennessee schools!  Yes, prisoners had access to private student information.

GAGGLE:
Another thing Momma Bears needs to warn you about is something called "Gaggle."  In some districts, students in TN are required to sign up for a Gaggle account.  This sounds like a neat program for safe online learning, but it gets a bit suspicious when they won't allow parents to have their child's password to see what is going on.  Even creepier, Gaggle has a "Human Monitoring Service."  Its website says that Gaggle's HMS team has "uncovered bullying, drug use, threats of school violence, teen depression, suicidal intentions, and abusive domestic situations."  So, strangers are snooping on our children's private information, but parents can't see it?  Unless a formal Law Enforcement Request is made, HMS data will be released only to the district contacts, and not parents.   (Click HERE to find out about Gaggle)


What can you do about it?
Be vigilant, Momma Bears!  Send a letter to your child's teacher and principal stating your child is not to be given any surveys or sign up for any online learning programs without your written permission.  Ask to see the survey or program before you give permission, and be sure to ask who has access to the information.  Before you sign anything, read the fine print.

Momma Bears, protect your babies!  It is a scary world out there!!!

Added 1/30/14:

Has your child been given an inappropriate survey without your consent? or required to join websites that parents are not allowed access to?  If so, Momma Bears wants to hear from you.  Please contact us privately through our website's contact form:   http://www.mommabears.org/contact-us.html 
A group of TN parents are considering a class action lawsuit.

    Momma Bears

    Just some moms who realize their children's public school systems in TN, as well as public schools across the country, have major threats to their survival.  We research, we write, we share, and we advocate.
