Students Pass on Tests
Re “Students Boycott Standardized Test,” May 4: What do the rich kids of Scarsdale, N.Y., know? You state that 195 of 290 eighth-graders, with their parents’ blessings, refused to take standardized exams to protest the increasing amount of class time being spent on preparing for them and the interference of those exams with a broader, in-depth curriculum.
Do those kids know something that our kids and parents don’t?
