They should be able to go and enjoy learning. My kids hate all the testing and I myself Don't really care for it either. ( teachers hate it too but can't say anything against it openly ) Well said MoRMS, this is a broken system. kids have enough on them these days. They should be able to go and enjoy learning.

Can someone tell me what the purpose of going online actually is? This whole year has done nothing but provide one fiasco headline after another. Now parents are being told that the results will be delayed for 8 months. How can teachers and students alike decide the best course of action for their schedules next year? Counties should get ready for a lot of flack and head-butting about course offerings next year. http://www.tampabay.com/news/education/testing/new-florida-law-will-delay-school-test-results-for-months/2225645 As a parent, I am beyond LIVID.

The teachers have to stress the importance of these tests over and over and they work so hard to prepare the kids for the test only to find that because of a computer problem they aren’t able to take the test. So it’s pushed off a day or two, causing more anxiety. I don’t believe this is a good system in any way. I understand the need to do things better but this obviously isn’t working. I would greatly prefer for the teachers to just teach and the kids to enjoy learning. Things have changed for the worse with our school system and unfortunately our children are going to suffer in the end terribly.
