Big changes are coming to Florida schools next school year: Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a bill that will do away with the Florida Standards Assessments.

It’ll be replaced with a progress monitoring system called the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking -- tests taken three times a year by prekindergarten through tenth-grade students.‘We don’t have to keep doing this:’ Senate passes bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent

“So, what? It’s a shell game. You still have to teach to a test because even if they take away the FSA, they still have the PMA,” teacher Elwood Thompson said.“If we could get rid of state testing. Period. Get rid of standardized testing,” he said. “I would love to abolish all standardized tests and focus on learning.”

“This type of assessment was much more effective than kind of the big, study for weeks, all the marbles on the last test, and then adjourn for the summer,” Governor DeSantis said.
