WHICH IS WHY MOMS OPPOSE NATIONAL TESTING:

Some states' school tests say kids are fine, but national tests say they're not (RENEE SCHOOF, 5/14/15, McClatchy)

A report on student testing released Thursday finds big gaps in most states between the percentage of students shown to be proficient in reading and math on state tests and the much lower number found to be proficient on a national benchmark test.

Georgia, Texas and South Carolina and dozens of other states showed significant gaps between their state tests in the 2013-14 school year and the results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress on tests of reading and math in fourth and eighth grades.

No one wants to accept that their kid is ignorant compared to his peers.
