Lower the number of standardized tests and design a better assessment system that can help students reach their full potential.
Why is this important?
Testing is NOT teaching and not everyone is a good test taker. Students need to get back to the love of learning and not have the fear of passing the state test. Being a high school student myself, I believe we should be taught how to become successful and productive individuals by being allowed to learn about what interests us; not what the state deems every student should know. This petition was inspired by the Massachusetts campaign, "Less Testing, More Learning."
