I'm a parent from Florida that feels standardized testing is an unfair representation of the learning ability of our students,especially if the testing is not an accurate reflection ofwhat is being taught in class. How is it possible to test the comprehension of these children based on unfamiliar material. The teachers are not failingthe students, these tests are. Most children are already nervous about testing on items actually presented to them on a daily basis in the classroom; isit feasible to believe that they will successfully master subjects their first time seeing them. If we don't stand for something we'll fall for anything. Please sign
