Growing anger against Biden administration’s mandate for standardized tests during pandemic
Last month, President Biden’s Acting Assistant Education Secretary Ian Rosenblum sent a letter to state education administrators instructing them that standardized tests had to be administered to students in some form this spring, summer or fall.
Rosenblum whose previous job was executive director of the Education Trust-New York, a pro-standardized testing and pro-business organization said states could delay the tests but they could not be canceled like last spring and they have to be conducted as soon as possible. The spring testing window for state tests, including the PSAT and SAT, typically given to high school juniors and seniors preparing for college, has already started in the United States.
