RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- North Carolina Families for School Testing Reform is hosting an online student and parent event about concerns with in-person standardized student testing as COVID-19 cases surge.
"Our mission all the time is for fewer tests, fairer tests and fruitful tests so we feel that the current mandate to require in-person testing is not checking any of those boxes," said Chelsea Bartel, a school psychologist and leader with NC Families for School Testing Reform. "It's not going to be fruitful to measure skills right now in the midst of a pandemic. It's not fair to our students and families and communities who have chosen virtual learning."
