Summary and Response In the article “The Facts about the Achievement Gap”, author Diane Ravitch shows that privatization in the United States education system is a direct response to the achievement gap between white students and minorities. She is a “researcher of education at New York University” (prologue), and once served “in the U.S. department of education from 1991 to 1993” (prologue). Her personal experience in the field of education has shown that “privatization inevitably means…

a student may have done over the course of their whole college academic year. Consequently, the SAT is not able to represent a college freshman’s grades as accurately since both high school and college mimic one another, unlike the SAT which only tests certain aspects of a student’s intelligence. Along with predicticting first-year grades in college, “...females on average score 35-40 points lower than males on the SAT I, but receive better high school and college grades” (Source G). The SAT is…

cursive writing, they will not know how to read cursive and they can write notes about someone. To start with schools might waste so much time on their students trying to right cursive and then they might not be paying attention and they could have a test on it and get an f. They could write a message about someone in cursive and they do not know how to read it and it could say…

the white students. Districts and schools were no longer allowed to solely rely on the achievement of high performing students to establish failure or success (Ladson-Billings, 2006). The administration dictates districts and schools to disaggregate test information for all subgroups and students within the school and make sure that each group is able to meet the required standard (Norman et al., 2001). The issue of achievement gap is a mystifying one for districts and schools within the United…

States tests it’s students has changed many times since the beginning of public schooling and education. Nowadays, America uses a method known as “standardized testing”. A standardized test requires two key components: all test takers are required to answer the same questions, and all the tests are standard in the sense that they can all be easily compared to compile data. Some examples of these types of standardized tests are achievement based tests, aptitude tests, college-admissions tests,…

on that test we took today? I'm talking about below proficient, so less than an 80. I will be honest and say I scored less than an 80. I hate tests for many reasons, but the one you won't find on this post is if I do bad on them. Hating tests because of the fact you don't do well isn't a reason (or a very good one at that). Tests are one of the worst ways of demonstrating a student's knowledge. Well actually, let me rephrase. I hate standardized tests.What is a Standardized test? A test that is…

Research Proposal for a Paper, “Standardized Brain” Overview of the Project: All students, starting from a young age, will experience and have to complete standardized tests at some point in their academic career. This starts in grade school and does not end until graduation from high school, and even then some students may still have to take one while in college. Standardized testing has been a hot button topic recently in education and has racked up numerous controversies over the years -…

other hand, I’m not sure if homework is completely unnecessary. I agree that that homework isn’t as vital as it’s thought to be, a point that needs emphasizing since so many people still believe that “If our students don't do lots of homework, their test scores will never be competitive internationally” (Kralovec, Buell). The essay states that “...the 1995 Third International Math and Science Study (TIMSS) found that 8th graders in Japan and Germany are assigned less homework but still…

students admitted to cheating on a test, 58 percent admitted to plagiarism and 95 percent said they participated in some form of cheating, whether it was on a test, plagiarism or copying homework. I personally think that cheating is a stupid idea. Building good srudy habits is the best thing you can do right now. We all know how great it feels to have just done good on a test after studying hard. You don’t even feel that rush of excitement after getting an A on a test that you cheated on. I do…
