Now, I ask you to process this man's reaction to the aggregated "Seaford" (School District's) results by extrapolating it from one small, mostly white, middle-class, suburban LI school district to hundreds of thousands of individual families all over NY state who will soon read the official notices of their own child's "failure" to have attained "on-grade-level" status on the latest assessments.

Even if we didn't have a problem before these assessments, we have one, now! Brace yourselves!
