Really? Yet another test? Students on Long Island get tested enough as it is so why add on even more now? I'm sure that most other kids and teenagers attending school right now would agree with me. Nobody likes tests. Adults do not have this same feeling towartds the concept however. Social studies and foreign languages are important and are believed to have been looked at as less important than math and English recently according to local school supervisors of these subjects. One foreign language director is right however when he says that it will be a mess if we leave this decision to replace old tests that were taken away due to the economic situation up to local school districts. There will probably be a lot of controversial debates over whether or not this is a good idea. 62 districts have already signed up for them though which is a large number.
