Yes. The tests I have given to my students take a week or more to do. I have had students cry by the third day. One of the problems with these tests is they are testing above grade level. So, my 5th grade students had a test that was on 6-7 grade levels. As a teacher I wouldn't mind a test that tests on grade level. That would be fair for the students, but that is not what is happening. The testing today also is based on a math mindset. What I mean by that is often the philosophy of some educational establishments state that unless you can do the math based education you won't be able to go to higher education. I have a Ph.d and never have been good at math or convergent thinking thus, testing for me was always a challenge. I taught myself test skills so I could pass the testing I needed to graduate college, grad school, and credentials. If you are a parent with a child in the system today you can opt your child out of the testing. As a teacher I am not suppose to tell you this and they make teachers sign an oath not to tell parents. All you have to do is give a written statement to the school not to have them test your child.

What are the benefits of going to private school versus public school?

Many children who are eager to learn will do wonderfully whether they are in a public or private school. Most public and private schools offer tours of their campuses and classes to help parents see if their child is going to mesh with the institution. Private schools tend to have smaller class sizes and more personalized time with the teachers. Also, in the modern age, many public schools only teach students the things that will be on the state's standardized tests, while private schools get to be more broad with the subjects they can cover.
