Please DO NOT approve proposed testing for 5th and 8th grade students. Besides the questionable nature of these particular standardized tests, a standardized test really only assesses a person’s executive functioning skills for taking a test. They are not proven to accurate represent a person’s knowledge. Students need LESS TESTING and MORE LEARNING during school time. Please do not take away more of that limited time for more testing. Thank you!
