Ceresta Smith, a 26 year veteran Florida teacher and one of the founders of the national organization, United Opt-Out spoke with Sid today about the nature of high-stakes standardized tests and why parents should not permit their children to participate in taking those tests. The high stakes standardized test such as the Smarter Balanced tests serve no purpose in the educational life of students and do nothing to inform teachers about the academic progress of their students. In spite of the tests having no value and being extremely expensive states persist in administering them. The United Opt-Out movement encourages parents to keep their children from taking the high-stakes standardized tests.
