Standardized Testing Should Not Be The Standard Standardized testing can be deemed as unfair and should not be solely be used to judge a student’s academic performance. Once quoted‚ “If my future were determined just by my performance on a standardized test‚ I wouldn’t be here. I guarantee you that” (Obama). Standardized testing has been the go-to way to test a student’s intellectual ability since before World War II. Most tests consist of several hours filled with tedious multiple choice questions

In the article “Is the College Admissions Bubble About to Burst” written by Lindsey Cook (2014)‚ she mainly expresses three points—1) increasing stress and competition that students receive in U.S. colleges 2) increasing tuition and cost of attending colleges in the U.S. 3) the increasing number of more and more new international students.

College should not be free. I personally don’t think that college should be free. Students who pay for their college are more motivated‚ hard working and independent.

As a matter of fact students with ambitions to get university degree are learning much harder in high school than other‚ who thinks they don’t need an extra paper. There are many students that are so smart‚ and they will find the way to

Students are made to believe that athletes rule the school‚ and grades are often an afterthought. In most cases‚ athletics will only get a person so far in life. Students should be required to maintain a C average‚ or 2.0 GPA to be allowed to participate in sports.

I have always thought I did not need to study and I could just get by without any effort. At the time‚ I was very uninspired and I always have been respectful to the people who have told me to become inspired. Without my older sister Cheyenne‚ I don’t know if I could have became inspired. Thankfully I am still inspired to get perfect grades‚ or at least what I consider perfect. I have never enjoyed school because it hasn’t inspired me.
