Ban the PARCC test from all schools in all states across the United States.

Created by K.B. on February 26, 2015

The State of New Jersey, as well as many others, are trying to implement a new Standardized test that is required to graduate High School known as the PARCC. The previous test you had to take to graduate High School was known as the HESPA. However, their are Several problems with the PARCC. The PARCC is much harder then the HESPA and is causing much more stress among students since you can't study for it. In addition, the difficulty of this test combined with the pressure of SATs and ACTs is not fair for the students. The fact that it is on a computer makes it harder for a student to concentrate. Plus it makes it difficult for schools to plan around because many schools have a lack of enough computers for each student. Please support my petition as we try to rid the country of this test.
