Recently, public school testing (such as the Ohio Achievement Assessment in Ohio) has been replaced with the PARCC Assessment. PARCC stands for "Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers. This Assessment is much more difficult, judging from the sample questions. The Assessment also takes up much more class time, taking away from day to day education for students. The scores of students will drop, leading to problems in the education field of the U.S. In signing this petition, you are agreeing to eliminate the PARCC Assessment and return to the original form of testing in schools all over the U.S.
