In the middle of a pandemic when we may ultimately be teaching online there is no way we can continue with the testing regime we have.

SAT, ACT, IB, and AP are valuable tests. They are also for high school kids only. Those same kids have FSA, EOC, and CFE tests. FSA is for grades 3-10.

There are PMAs in some counties to prep for FSAs.

I’ll explain the jargon and initials if you REALLY want but it’s out of control. That’s the short story. I’ll be glad to give you the long story sometime if you want.
