Stop Standardized Tests in Schools

Please encourage our elected officials to stop the testing wars and return education to what it formerly was before NCLB and a Race to the Top. We need highly qualified teachers teaching and enriched curriculum not stressed out teachers teaching to the test.

Why is this important?

Standardized tests are crippling education! The high costs of testing materials and the high stakes of the test is stressful to the teachers, the students, and the parents. These tests are causing our educational system to be completely overwhelmed. I want to move our educational system away from teaching to the test and back to teaching critical thinking skills and a balanced enriched curriculum. Kids need more time with Science experiments and less time on worksheets.
