Education Matters: Talking Testing with Teacher Legislators

There appears to be a growing bipartisan consensus that we're over-testing our state's public school students. How those standardized tests are used to assign A-F letter grades to schools and to pay teachers and principals has also come under scrutiny. This week we talk with two legislators who are both NC classroom teachers and are backing efforts in the House for changes. We also continue our State Superintendent candidate interviews with James Barrett, a member of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education.
