Professor of Education Alan Singer spoke to WNYW-TV Fox 5 about a move to make the Regents exams optional in New York.



“I agree younger students are over-tested, but I don’t think they’re being over-tested in high school,” said Dr. Singer. “The exams shouldn’t be abandoned until after assessments are developed.”
