    Students in 47 Texas counties will get STAAR reprieve because of #HurricaneHarvey. This is just common sense. #txlege #txedhttp://www.statesman.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/state-gives-students-harvey-hit-school-districts-reprieve-staar/aKD1DUhrfDet6fnA84H3IP/ …

        They all should! STAAR should be done away with. All it teaches is how to take tests. And some don’t even learn that. It teaches no true values or logical thought patterns.

        Respectfully, every student in Texas needs reprieve from the STAAR test. Because it's a bad test.

        The students in those counties will probably learn a lot more this year since teachers won't be forced to teach to the test. They will also gain back many instructional days by not having to stop for benchmarks every couple of weeks. Wish all our kids could get a reprieve.

        Why didn't you speak out against it right after Harvey, when the education commissioner said they weren't going to do anything! It's to late for you to jump on the bandwagon now.

        Very good Governor Abbott! 👍 It would be a much better idea to do away with the STAAR test altogether. 🙌 Too much stress for the kids and teachers.

        Doing away with the useless STARR test altogether would make more sense.
