We have been in and out of school all year, on behalf of the student body we don't think we have learned enough and gotten the materials we need to fulfill our full potential on the state test. Since we haven't learned nor gained enough experience for the state tests, we would like to suspend state testing for 1 year. Covid-19 has hindered our abilities as students to learn the necessary skills and knowledge to complete the state testing and also at the same time, not take a hit to our grades.

We as students need less stress in our lives, and the state test is only causing more stress and hindering our ability to learn even more. If the students can’t learn the necessary curriculum to finish the test successfully there is no need for the state test especially if most of the Students missed much-needed in-class learning. 

In conclusion, students will not be able to complete state testing and successfully finish with a good score. For many, the test score could be the make or break for what classes they would be able to take the following school year which would also harm their chances to get into a College or University. The bad scores would also cause the teachers of whom are not at fault, to be viewed as if they are not good at their job. We the students need state testing to be suspended for the year 2021 to relieve the students from intense stress.
