    Comments: Please end this atrocity calle FCAT. My kids are learning nothing in school except how to take this test. There is no longer a curriculum, just year round test practice for the FACAT. My son will be 16 in 2 weeks, and wants to drop out because he is not being taught anything in school.

    Comments: The facts show that too much emphasis on standardized testing is just not working. The future will reward the creative, not the programmed learners.

    Comments: The FCAT is putting a strangle-hold on the creativity of our teachers and students. We are going to turn out a bunch of box-thinkers. That type of person can not improve our country in the future.

    Comments: What an injustice to our children that we put pressure like this on them. Every mind is wired differently and to think that every child should be tested in the same way is asinine. You show me an adult that is perfect at everything and I'll tell you to wake up because you must be dreaming. Why exactly do they expect this from children We should be teaching them to love learning, that it is fun and not something to fear.

    Comments: Mainsteaming kids seems a sure fire way of setting them up to fail. I think the answer lies in the hands of the teachers who work with kids on a more individual basis.

    Comments: How can one test truly tell the learning potential of a person. The FCAT should have been used as a tool to see where improvemenr is needed, not as a gauge for failure. We have become less adapt in our learning. The failure of the system is 1st the parent, second the student and lastly the school system. All three are needed for education to work not a test.

    Comments: I believe in standardized testing, however, I do not believe that it should out weigh what a child does the rest of the school year. My daughter was a B student in 3rd grade and scored low on the FCAT and was left back. It makes no difference what a child does the whole school year - ONLY THE FCAT MATTERS
