Sydney Smoot, an incredibly articulate and brave fourth grader from Brooksville, Florida, heroically stood before the Hernando County School Board to speak out against standardized testing and brought the house down.
Sydney, a 9-year-old powerhouse, spoke eloquently about her concerns over the FSA:
Chief among Sydney's concerns is a form that students are made to sign, stating that they can't even discuss the test with their parents.
Sydney is not opposed to taking tests, she just wants it to be fair.
