    As a student, I completely agree with the argument made by NASW; each student learns differently and it should be taken in to a count. By focusing on the standardized test, the education provided to the students is very limited. We should be focusing on how to improve education and how we can overcome obstacles such as poverty in the education system. Providing and improving different types of services to assure children are learning at their own rate without feeling pressure of catching up to other children.…

In school we learn a vast amount of material for each class, and there has to be a way for teachers to determine if you know a material or not.

    If a teacher does not wish to be reprimanded, his or her students will all have to do well on the tests. In order to be sure that this happens, teachers will teach to the tests. They will focus not on creative writing, but rather on the type of writing that the test scorers will want to see. Instead of taking field trips, students will be practicing analogies and test taking skills. Literature will not be read intensively, but will instead be skimmed for the main points in order to answer the critical reading questions.…
