Legislator looks to get rid of EOG test
RALEIGH (By Loretta Boniti, News 14 Carolina) - A state lawmaker said it is time for North Carolina to re-assess and get rid of some of its standardized testing.
A bill scheduled to be heard next week at the General Assembly would do away with four End of Grade tests. The elimination is in an attempt to save money and alter the way teachers and students are assessed.
For North Carolina students, end of grade tests are "designed to measure student performance on the goals, objectives, and grade-level competencies." But some lawmakers speculate their effectiveness.
“I just do not think that these test measure the data that we presume that it does,” said Rep. Bryan Holloway, a Stokes County Republican.
