I read a nonfiction article about parents arguing that their kids should be taking less tests at school. They thought that some of the tests were just reviewing already known material. They thought that there should still be tests, but not as many. Parents were fighting the school board.

One sentence in this article that stood out to me was, “We need fewer, better, and fairer assessments.” This sentence stands out to me because I agree with what she’s saying. Some tests just review the same material over and over again.

Debbie Vency, who is on the school board, has a strong point of view about this topic. She thinks there should be tests,but not as many. However, tests are important to all of the kids so that they know where they’re at in school and so the parents can, too.
