PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT courtesy of The Washington Post:

This testing looks at me as a number. One test defines me either as a failure or a success through a numbered rubric. One test at the end of the year that the teacher or myself will not be able to see the grade until the school year is already over. I do not think all this FSA testing is accurate to tell how successful I am. It doesn’t take into account all of my knowledge and abilities, just a small percentage.

Way to go, Sydney! You have a bright future in activism ahead of you.
