All week, Channel 3 is getting an in-depth look inside children’s classrooms across the state.

Teachers need to stop telling students that they have to pass these tests or they won't pass their grade because it's not true! State tests have nothing to do with students and their grade. They're basically testing the teacher and district

I knew this one kid who was so stressed he puked

[MrsSpitfire]

Working a job/career, having and taking responsibility causes stress. Life in general is stressful at times. I can see why these kids are falling apart. They're emotionally coddled.

Teachers don't like it
Because it exposes them.

We opt our kids out, it's too stressful and creates other issues for them. Fastbridge tests are given through the year to see where they are at.

before standardized tests, only the sons and daughters of teachers,
only the "insiders" knew what to review for the exam,
there are millions of us in the middle and lower classes who have failed our exams, because only the Insiders have the answers in advance!

lol I'm not Simon (live aciton chipmunk movies)! I can't just learn this material right away and expect to do perfect on these tests!

[carerforever]

I think school should not fail student if they give wrong answer. Because it a matter of personal opinion.Professionals aren't always right!
