NC Voices: Put to the Test Part 6

Today we conclude a series from Western Guilford High School in Greensboro. We’re looking at how standardized testing is affecting teachers and students. Yesterday, we left off with student Jessica Giardullo. When Jessica started high school, she was put in a special set of classes to help her catch up on basic skills and improve her test scores. She does well, and by 10th grade, teachers are recommending her for advanced level classes. But Jessica’s still not very enthusiastic about school. Emily Hanford reports. From our "Put to the Test" series.
