    I’m asking the Texas Education Agency to give students in school districts affected by Hurricane Harvey relief from some STAAR student assessment requirements. #txlege #txedhttp://www.statesman.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/abbott-urges-tea-give-harvey-hit-schools-reprieve-from-staar/HUQdiIodaymZngeMjGfNgN/ …

        Those tests are horrible. They should go for everyone. They take “benchmark” tests throughout the year, putting much stress on students, teachers, parents. If they don’t pass the tests, they fail the whole year. Tests should just measure growth and adjust lessons for students.

        Just get rid of common core. I mean expanded notation, completely unnecessary.

        As a newly retired Texas educator, I say get rid of the test completely. Give teachers back their academic freedom.

        Let's just delete the STAAR test all together. Let our teachers reach their full potential and teach, and make learning fun again. It is to stressful now. Students are afraid if they don't pass STAAR, they will be held back.

        This is a little annoying and possibly a good thing in desguise. Annoying because 14 years ago my house burned down during my sophmor year and i was out of school in the hospital for 2 months due to it... Drop way behind in my studies but was still made to take the TAX test.

        Now its the STARR test and i hear its more idiotic than it was when it was the TAX and TAS test. The public school system in our country needs a massive overhual.
