AUSTIN, Texas, July 28 -- The Texas State Teachers Association issued the following statement by President Ovidia Molina:
"We are glad the governor suspended the promotion requirements for fifth and eighth graders that are tied to STAAR scores for the upcoming school year, but he didn't go far enough.
"STAAR testing will still be wasteful and stressful at a time when teachers, students and their parents are stressed out enough over a deadly pandemic.
