Question

There seems to be too much standardized testing in public schools Fact or Opinion

Answer 1

Opinion:I think the amount of testing is good.

Answer 2

There seems to be too much-standardised testing in public schools:

This can be stated as an Opinion because of the usage of the words ‘seems to be’.

If it is a fact, it will be declared by the proper direct verb. Only if one gives an opinion, he/she uses the words like, ‘seems’, ‘guess’, ‘in my view’, ‘suggests’, etc. So, in the given sentence, there are words ‘seems to be’, instead of ‘is’ or ‘are’ or ‘prevails’ or ‘exists’. Thus, we can conclude that the given sentence is only an Opinion and not a Fact.
