"As an English language learner teacher, I'm having to spend many weeks testing my students' English language proficiency. As a good teacher, I like to know where my students are performing; however, testing all students every year takes me out of the classroom and away from teaching the exact thing I'm testing. Please fund more teachers so I can continue testing and continue teaching at the same time.

"Also, my students are required to take math and science tests their first year in the country, and reading them the test in their native language is considered not passing by the state. Please change this so that any language can be used on all tests except reading."
