Depends on how it's done. Standardized tests to have an objective idea of capabilities are one thing. Leftists tend to oppose these because they highlight differences that they want to pretend don't exist. Standardized testing is at its worst when it's a test of regurgitation, and not capability... which is what a lot of standardized testing has become.
In a way education is about regurgitating, so this is dumb imo. A doctor can't think his way out of not remembering low blood sugar needs insulin (not a doctor don't crucify me point stands).
No, fuckface reporter, not one fucking kid or parent gives a shit about standardized tests being cancelled.
Teachers, kids and parents are popping champagne over the cancellation. Only paper pushers and middle management likes testing.
Standardized testing is an abomination. Good riddance.

More like indoctrination tests, I spent so many years in summer school as a child/teen because of these bullshit ass "tests".
