At some point during each year the kids should have to prove they have learnt the required knowledge of that year.

So I would be okay with 1 test per year per subject as long as the parents are okay with failing their kids if they fail that test. Really if they have been learning all year as these parents say they are then 1 year end test shouldn't be a problem but there will be no indication if their kids are struggling until they fail and have to repeat a grade.

In the end if these kids are smart then the tests should be easy and not a big deal if these kids need to me working more at school then the tests provide a good indicator of where they need help.
