students and her mom a professor and advocate for high quality public education. thank you for being here. thank you so much. what grade are you in? 7th grade. you re speaking out on behalf of so many students who want to opt out. why do you want to opt out? there s a bunch of reasons i want to opt out. one of the reasons is the format of the test is confusing through the technology and the questions. first with the questions a lot of the questions on the test are multiple choice questions. but they re used for like when you evaluate readings or looking at essays. that s confusing because when you re evaluating, a lot of students take away a different meaning because when you re reading something everybody takes away a more important value. you can t pick an a, c, or b value for that.
