to pass or fail a stundent... I have never seen students so stressed and emotionally upset!!! I mean how healthly is it to put young teenagers under this kind of pressure. We as adults have learned to coop with stress in our lives as we get older, my God I can't even imagine what we have done to these young people and we as their peers need to put a stop to it today not tomorrow or next week now before we have anymore (Child left behind) !!!!!!!

Nor should it determine whether they pass or fail. This test doesn't tell you a childs grades or how well they apply themselves in school. This test can take the best student and fail them or the worst and pass them. I think children should be passed or failed on their grades. Which is shown on their report cards.

My son is a victum of this and he was in AP classes and was not allowed to walk because of one point on the english part of the test. He always had dreams of going to college and now that has been yanked away.

If schools would spend more time teaching class, rather than TAKS, students would leave high school better educated.
