Kids Could be Taking More Tests in School

(Undated) – When the kids head back to school they could spend a lot more time taking tests. The Illinois State Board of Education is continuing to look at a plan to require three state tests. Currently, students statewide take just one test. ISBE leaders say more tests will give teachers and schools a better sense of how kids are learning. Parents and education groups say more tests will mean less learning and more stress for kids. ISBE has postponed a vote on the new tests but is not canceling the idea.
