This really slows down my progress with the students. How many school days should be spent on state and federal tests? Are students in state of Georgia over-tested? And how can school officials find a balance between being accountable and preventing test fatigue? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This question is one of the main questions relating to school, teacher and student accountability. There no question that students are over tested in Georgia. If we counted the tests students are mandated to take beginning in elementary school all the way through high school - tests that include state mandated tests and placement tests such as the SAT, upwards of 20 tests will have been given to the average students in Georgia. One of the challenges is defining school officials. Who are the officials of the school? Teachers, principals, superintendents, instructional coaches, councilors or at higher levels such as at the state level? One of the main ways to fight test fatigue is to prepare students so well and work with their confidence level.
