Nearly 94 percent of teachers surveyed by the Missouri State Teachers Association support suspending state-mandated tests this year.
The survey released this week reflects the responses of more than 6,000 public school teachers in the state. MSTA said 3,500 responded in the first 24 hours. Teachers wanted to have their voice heard, said Bruce Moe, MSTA executive director. They have something that they wanted to say and somebody needed to ask them.
Only 6.3 percent of the teachers surveyed were against suspending standardized testing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The state has long required students in grades 3-8 to be tested annually in reading and math. High school students must also take standardized end-of-course exams in many core classes required for graduation.
