once said that “If the purpose of learning is to score well on a test‚ we’ve lost sight of the real reason for learning.” Students should not be required to take standardized tests. They stress out students and teachers‚ take up too much learning time‚ and they have no true purpose. It has been proven that 2.3% of time is used on testing every year for an average middle school.

Some people such as Herbert J. Walberg believe that standardized testing is a benefit and that people should not complain about it.
