<p>RALEIGH — Public school students take too many tests, Gov. Pat McCrory told education leaders Wednesday, and the state needs to figure out how to lighten the load.</p>

<p>During a meeting with the State Board of Education, McCrory said he has instructed his new senior education adviser, Eric Guckian, to identify which tests are unnecessary and report back by the end of the summer.</p>

<p>Governor McCrory is the last person to comment on the bettering of public education.
From trying to take away early voting registration, to making special needs kids test at the same level as gifted students…</p>

<p>I am not a McCrory fan.</p>

<p>Tests are necessary to see where the class and student are. Hope it’s not that way (what the governor just said) if I choose to go to William Peace.</p>
