THESE TESTS ARE A JOKE. Stop wasting our tax money and let teachers just teach for once.

My kid comes home crying because of the stress. This test is way to hard and it does nothing to help them learn in the long run.

Having a child in special education, I am against the PARCC exam. The PARCC exam does not take into account that there are children who work and learn differently, my child being one of them. This kind of testing causes her so much anxiety and stress that it affects her performance. Children are not robots. Children are individuals who should NOT be measured by a test that seems to include subjects they have not studied in the classroom. It is a waste of time and money for the children and for the teachers and I find the connection with PARCC testing and the governor highly suspicious. Meaning, I believe we are torturing children with unnecessary testing simply because there is financial gain for a higher-up . It is especially shameful the way the governor and her cohorts have no interest in listening to the teachers and parents. She claims to be interested but her action, or lack there of, show otherwise. It is especially shameful that those who stand up against her risk becoming targets for harassment.

It's unnecessary and a stress on students who need to be using that time for more important tasks. If it's not there to help you, it shouldn't be there at all.

I agree that test grades should not be the main factor to tell if a student is smart. They are too heavily relied on and often discourage students who learn at a different pace or who do not test well. More factors should determine a student's knowledge on a particular subject.
