State law requires children in kindergarten to take tests for every subject taught in kindergarten. Some counties will develop as many as 15 different tests, ranging from physical education to art. Most children will be required to take seven tests. State Sen. David Simmons, a member of the education committee, said "For us to assure that schools do their jobs we can only test. If you don't test, you don't care," said Simmons. School districts will decide whether children's performance on the tests will impact their grades and their ability to move on to first grade. This must be another of former Governor Jeb Bush's bright ideas. You can tell how much he cares because Florida students take so many tests. dianeravitch | August 19, 2014 at 12:00 pm | Categories: Childhood, Pre-K, K, Florida, Testing | URL: http://wp.me/p2odLa-8tx Comment    See all comments
