"Fed up with standardized testing?" Florida is only having its first full assessment for the first time THIS year, so how can they already be fed up with standardized testing? Unless they are referring to prior years of non-Common Core standardized testing... Again, another bogus article.

You obviously don't understand just how much time the teachers are expected to spend in testing.  Even K teachers.  More time testing, less time teaching.

That's not a function of Common Core, that's a function of ANY assessment.  Most school districts around the country had some form of standardized testing long before Common Core came along, so to now suddenly start complaining and to then direct blame at Common Core seems pretty damned disingenuous.

Plus, without standardized testing, you have no real way of knowing how well students are actually doing, or how they stack up against student performance in other districts and states.  You essentially then have no real objective metrics for comparison.[/quote]
