"no fcat please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"These tests do no good. Not all students fair well when it comes to testing. This is not the way to do things and should be stopped."
"I HATE FCAT P.S It's true what he said..."
"All children do not test well. This is a poor way to decide if a child should pass or fail. They should be judged by their grades throughout the year."

"No more FCAT please!"
"i agree with this student - I have a son who will be in the eight grade next year and I worry that he will be held back because of his testing abilities (he has ADD) and it doesn't matter how much time he gets to complete the test - there is just too much"
"Finally-a chance to get our words heard about this!!"
"My child has writing/processing limitations. He has an IEP plan at school. This test un-nerves him and he feels stressed over an above what he feels daily. The school has been as helpful as they can be, based on the rules of FCAT. However, I have been tol"
"Don't put so much importance on one test. There are some kids who don't test well. It also squelches the creative teaching of our educators, since all they can teach throughout the year is what is on the FCAT."
