In NY, we have Regents, PSAT’s and a bunch of other tests. My daughter spent very little school time in real studying and a great deal of class time studying for tests. We don’t need more tests, we need more teaching.
More reading and math and less “diversity” or “climate change” indoctrination.
The testing has some political roots in it, but the students must know how to read and do math.
If a system of testing forces public schools to shape up, so be it.
