From Parents Campaign to Take Back Kids’ Summers--High-Stakes Testing Has Cost Some August the Washington post（华盛顿邮报），Jan 22，2006
MIAMI－The pressures of federally mandated exams have pushed public schools here（注）and in several other states to begin classes weeks earlier than usual to squeeze in more days of instruction before the critical tests, sometimes striking August entirely from vacation calendars and devoting the month, traditionally left open for childhood leisure, to class time.
Tips：该句属于超长句，翻译之时候应该着力于译句之流畅。
But a widespread backlash, led by disgruntled parents organized into loosely affiliated Save Our Summers groups across the country, is underway.
Legislators in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama and Pennsylvania are weighing bills this year that would peg school start dates to Labor Day. North Carolina, Texas, Minnesota and Wisconsin passed similar measures in recent years.
The issue is one of the most controversial aspects in the debate over the exams used to comply with the No Child Left Behind law, leading to widening opposition and adding to the litany of complaints about the side effects of what critics call "high-stakes" testing.
Tips：该句结构略为复杂，翻译前可先分析主干，弄清修饰关系，并注意翻译时语言之组织顺序。
注：here means the situation Miami faced. In Miami, schools tend to sacrifice August vacation because of the ‘high stakes’ testing, so parents are campaigning to take back kid’s summers.
