Yes, measure impact

I finally find myself agreeing with something said by the Biden administration: "Last week, the Biden administration said states must administer federally required standardized tests this year to measure the pandemic's impact on learning, but offered some flexibility, including inviting states to apply for waivers and not holding schools accountable for the results." I feel the same way. I think it would be a major cop-out by public school administrators and teachers to do otherwise. The country needs to see the impact the coronavirus had on public education, and if the government lets school districts and teacher unions skate by on this it would be a travesty.
