that standardized test results are often inaccurate. As Michelle Obama once said‚ Mrs. Obama is living proof that standardized tests are not an accurate form of measurement for student’s intelligence and performance. Even though Mrs. Obama did not do well on standardized tests‚ she is one of the most intelligent and powerful women today. It takes a lot more than a high score on a multiple choice test to determine the level of one’s intelligence. A students performance on a standardized test can

I disagree with Leon Botstein’s essay "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood". Botstein argues that teenagers have matured much more quickly over the past few years. Therefore‚ he believes high school be abolished and a child’s education should begin earlier in order for students to graduate around the age of sixteen rather than eighteen. High school is intended for students of a certain maturity level. But now‚ students are exceeding that level rapidly. Botstein sees high school as a place full of superficial

Standardized testing is usually perceived as the optimum way to judge the effectiveness of the learning system; however‚ if the reason for learning is to evaluate test scores rather than achievement and ability‚ then the real purpose of learning is lost. The explosive rate of standardized testing has caused a narrowing in the core curriculum and stifling of creative thinking in all fields.

many schools in America depend on a standardized-testing-based education system in order to assess young minds and their knowledge. These tests are supposedly the most effective way to measure the knowledge and skills a student may “possess in a particular content area” (Popham). However‚ it has been proven that standardized tests are neither accurate nor do they properly test the extent of knowledge and information that a student may actually possess. Standardized testing is an ineffective way to evaluate

our children‚ feel special. But we have to ask ourselves‚ what is being rewarded? In the American public school system‚ everything is built on an unstable foundation called standardized testing. Standardized testing consists of strict curriculums with certain information that must be retained until a test is prepared. Standardized testing is a rinse and repeat method where children memorize facts and reiterate them multiple times. But there is an absence of critical thinking‚ which consists of knowledge
