Why
 

Why are you trying to add more state testing? I don't think you all understand the INSANE amount of pressure our kids are put under with the SOL testings alone!

Why not start with a test for the students asking different questions on how they feel about the SOL'S? Asking how they are/have been feeling or effected, mentally/emotionally, from the school, the teachers, ect. 

Pick one or the other. There's no reason to stress these kids out more than they already are.

Maybe focus on things that should actually be taught in schools, like ACTUAL things needed in adulthood, and mental health, and stop pushing the fact that college is the best/only way to succeed in their future. 

 

Do better for the kids!
