What could be better about state testing?
I'm working on a video essay on why state testing is ableist, harmful for students mental health, and what we should do instead.
What are your experiences with state testing, what are some drawbacks, how has it effected you and do you have any ideas on how the state can test the curriculum in less extensive ways?
(Furthermore, add if you are okay with being referenced in a video essay and if you'd prefer to remain anonymous or be credited)
Here is an example that my school has dealt with (PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU'VE HAD THE SAME ISSUE)
-our text to speech doesn't work. This feature is extremely important to visually impaired kids and kids who struggle with reading/processing words! It can be to slow, to fast, sometimes the button doesn't work or the voice gets stuck on a word, leaving the user unable to answer the question until the voiceover finishes.
