Some parents and bye to state tests during pandemic (Tampa Bay Times)

https://www.tampabay.com/news/education/2021/02/11/florida-schools-will-resume-state-testing-in-person-some-say-no-way/?fbclid=IwAR21na-XaO5X6y6du9webE7jUINkN2Zh8Yo4z9o4So3za1-HXUy9hubzL5U

Pasco County eighth-grader Sophia Slagter has attended classes from home since the pandemic began nearly a year ago.

She’s got asthma and other health issues that put her at risk, and her family has taken strict precautions to keep her safe. They plan to continue “hunkering down” until the threat abates.

That includes skipping Florida’s annual spring tests in math and English — even though her Algebra I end-of-course exam will count as 30 percent of her course grade and passing it is a high school graduation requirement. The state intends to administer its tests this year, unlike last spring, and made clear they’ll be offered only inside schools.

Then he says all we need is vaccines and everything is going so wonderfully here and he doesn't want the federal government involved here? He's dangerous!
