are kids in the united states being tested too much
4236946. A new survey of American parents indicates that many think schools place too much emphasis on standardized tests. A plurality of U.S. adults, 36 percent, think that the amount of time spent on standardized tests in education is âtoo high.â The number for parents with school-age children is even higher.n fact, few things seem to unify American public opinion like support for charter schools and voucher programs. Not only did a 61 percent of U.S. adults support charter schools, but every single subgroup tracked by the poll did as well.
