The Opt Out Florida Network is not “anti-testing”. The Opt Out Florida Network supports multiple measures of authentic assessments (like portfolios, project-based assessments, performance-based assessments, collaborative projects, etc.) that can be used to inform instruction and which do not result in punitive consequences for students, teachers, and schools. We want in-depth forms of assessments that reflect what children actually know. So, we are not anti-testing. We are, however, very much against the high-stakes that federal and state policymakers have mandated because they are accompanied by inhumane consequences, they take power away from local schools and communities, and they suck millions of dollars out of our already underfunded public schools.
