Given what you have learned so far about educational testing and evaluation methods, do you think that the students in your school district are given enough testing, not enough, or too much testing?

Students these days are subjected to a wide variety of tests throughout  their K12 school career. Research the types of tests a student has  to take for a specific grade level and when those tests are administered  in your school district. (i.e. All high school seniors have to pass a  state exam for basic literacy in order to graduate.)
