I was never held back in third grade. Every time that the FCAT test would come near I would always have test anxiety. I remember taking it for the last time in my Senior year and when those test results came back and they told me that I was three points away from passing… I GOT SO FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that I’m a college student I am against STANDARDIZED TESTING!!!!!!!!!!!

We need more parents to opt out the high achievers. When the kids who would normally pass the test opt out, people will start taking notice.
