Just Leave Testing Alone Research Paper

Just Leave Testing Alone Why would you fix something that isn’t broke? That is why I am arguing to leave testing alone. The two sides were that there is too much testing or just leave testing alone. I think leave testing alone because we are doing enough testing per year to keep us learning. My first piece of evidence is that there is plenty of time after testing to study on new units. Third graders spend 1240 minutes of testing a year and I think that is how much they need. Regular testing takes one day so that there is enough time to learn new units. Just to tell you again, after testing there is enough time to learn new units. My second piece of evidence is that some tests have different results/data, but we need data on students learnings. You can’t always look how good a student is doing on different tests. Some test scores come in late so it is hard to see the scores right away. Just to tell you again, different tests have different results/data. My third and last piece of evidence is that standardized tests accurate because they measure the standards and student knowledge. Standardized tests make kids fell smart about their scores they got. Lots of kids are doing very well on the standardized tests they are getting. Just to tell you again, standardized tests measure the standards and student knowledge. People say that testing takes up to much class time. Students spend 20-25 hours on standardized tests every year. People say schools should have less testing altogether. People think that there is too much testing and there should be less testing. Testing takes to much time
