This was shot down by DoE in the last administration.

Students will continue "filling out bubbles" as long as it's the cheap way to assess student learning. Here in Michigan, perhaps the state hit hardest by this recession, many students are asked to donate toilet paper, sit in unheated classrooms, and learn in grossly overcrowded classrooms. While standardized tests remain a joke, there are other travesties, as well. All politicians talk a big game, but never go into detail about how their great ideas will be funded.
