Testing

I think one day of standardized testing should be allowed per year. From personal experience, I think two weeks (like the PARCC) is too much because its stressful and not fun for the students, and students lose valuable class time. For example, because of the shortened classes, teachers can't teach their full lesson that they planned. The lessons will be pushed to a further date, taking time from future lessons. I think one day of testing should be enough because the state can still track how students are performing on the tests, and the teachers don't use a lot of class time.
