The FCAT standardized tests have proved to be a failure. NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND The current education standards in Florida are such that standardized tests all but negate classroom education efforts, classroom test grades, homework achievements and student efforts in general throughout the school year.
Honor roll students can be left back if they fail a test that is unproven in its validity to accuratley display the aptitude of the sudents that take the tests.
Please grant our request to put an end to the FCAT Exams. Our children\'s futures are depending on you to act on their behalf.
The Department of Education continues to ignore the reality that these tests destroy our classrooms and crush the spirits of our students. I have been fighting their bureaucratic runarounds all week while our children are treated like data points instead of human beings.
