"As the person in charge of testing at my school , I totaled the average time that a sophomore student might spend in testing (standardized, CRT, and NRT) to be about 54 hours over three years. That is roughly equivalent to more than one quarter in a given school year at our school! That is time the teacher could have used to actually teach those students (a novel thought under ESEA!)."
