There are many trends in today's educational world that make students feel a certain way about their schools. Standardized testing is just one of many trends that schools use in today’s educational world. Teachers use standardized testing as a guideline to help them as they teach throughout the year. With standardized testing the teachers have set material that they must teach to prepare the students they have in class for their end of the year standardized test.

To begin, teachers are being provided with guidance from standardized testing. With standardized testing teachers are provided with set framework of their teaching that will help their students pass the test at the end of the year. Without this provided framework, it becomes very easy for a teacher at one school to begin to teach ahead or behind that of a teacher from another school, therefore, hurting not only the child from that in particular school but also the teacher themselves (Columbia University 1). In continuation, standardized testing provides the students with guidance. Students know that they work hard all year, so by the time the testing rolls around at the end of the year the students are excited and almost fierce because they know that they have been provided with guidance throughout the year to help them get through this test (Boston Review 1). Also, the guidance that the students have received make them want to achieve more this year than they did the last year (Barton, et al. 1). Still yet, standardized testing helps out the parents to by providing them with guidance. Standardized testing almost forces the parents to provide guidance at home.

In conclusion, guidance is being provided to schools all across America who just take the time to implement standardized
