Please stop all mandatory testing that are required for our young people to graduate from Ohio schools. This is very discouraging to our young people. After 12 years of hard work one test should not determine if our youths can receive a diploma. If they don't pass the different tests (different names have been used, but they all the same)the rest of their lives will be ruined. You have pushed the no child left behind act but yet this is exactly what you are doing; leaving them behind. Our future depends on our young people and yet society is saying that they are not capable of being our future. We are going to loose our young people due to a lack of faith in themselves. Their ability to succeed after high school will be lost because they had to receive a certificate instead of a diploma. We have to stand up for our young people today, because they are our future. You said leave not one child behind. Then why are you

My son is a great kid but he chokes on these standardized tests. It isnt fair to hold back his whole future because he isnt a good test taker. Let these kids graduate!

TESTS DONT DEFINE INTELIGENCE. Stop making these poor kids jump through hoops just to get the diploma they earned.
