In Light of Other Reports, Should We Take This Poll with a Grain of Salt?

Poll: Parents back high-stakes testing. (Daily Herald, 8/17/2013)

Excerpt:   Most parents also say their own children are given about the right number of standardized tests, according to the AP-NORC poll.

Retiring Guy hits the 'pause' button.  This statement begs the question:  How many parents know the exact number of standardized tests their children took during the 2012-13 school year?

I suspect that a statistically significant percentage of the parents surveyed by AP-NORC replied without being fully informed.  (And how does that differ from any other poll?)
