With the fact that 40% of students in Rutherford County alone are doing distance learning there's going to be a lot of kids working online. I'm all for kids staying home and not risking death, but I would like to express how well this is going to work in one word

TNReady

I feel that that is all I need to say about Tennessee's education system

Tennessee PTA Statement on School Closings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, March 17, 2020 NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The following statement may be attributed to Tennessee Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Board of Directors, Kim Henderson President.

“With the spread of COVID-19 statewide following on the shadow of recent tornadoes in Middle Tennessee, we are supportive of Gov. Bill Lee’s action to protect students, educators and families by calling for an immediate closure of our public schools statewide.

With school closures it is critical that the Tennessee Legislature and the Tennessee Department of Education implement plans to ensure student’s’ and school staff needs are met during a school closure. Many Tennessee students rely on their school for a hot meal each day. Parents and families may not have the ability to supervise their students while not in school. Many families will experience changes in their schedule and financial status. Students and staff alike will be focused on the emergencies and may have emotional needs that need to be addressed in addition to their educational needs. School staff should not be required to use sick time or go unpaid while their school is closed.

Education while out of school must remain equitable and provide opportunities for all students. Many students are also without computer or internet access at home, and thus unable to participate in virtual learning. Students that require accommodations, including but not limited to special education students, will need special consideration. High school seniors also need to be considered as they need to complete their high school education in a timely manner to allow for continuing education options. Concerns about the required number of school days and the possible extension of the school year need to be evaluated and should be discussed with the community before decisions are made.

Tennessee PTA is also concerned about the upcoming TNReady. The U.S. Department of Education has already released guidance stating it will consider waiving requirements for state-wide tests. Tennessee students and educators are dealing with increased stress and uncertainty following the devastating storms in Middle Tennessee and now a global health crisis. It is inappropriate to move forward with TNReady testing this year. The Tennessee Parent Teacher Association along with many other education associations is calling on the Lee administration and the Tennessee General Assembly to cancel all TNReady and other high-stakes testing for this school year.

The Tennessee Legislature and the Department of Education must continue to focus on the issues surrounding the health and well-being of students, educators and families in Tennessee during this crisis. They must act quickly to address these concerns and work to identify a solution to protect our students.

About PTA PTA® comprises of families, students, teachers, administrators and business and community leaders devoted tothe educational success of children and the promotion of family engagement in schools.

Background: In Tennessee our state test is called TNReady. This is what everyone's response to it crashing this year.

"TNReady isn't ready" "people already made that joke"

*screaming from the halls* "TN wasn't ready"

*mockingly* "This year it's going to count. This year it's going to work. It didn't work."

Literally everyone being salty and relieved. This shit has happened every year since TCAP stopped.
