Currently, we have a law in place called the “No Child Left Behind Act”. This law was put into place to decrease the academic performance gap between under privileged students and privileged students. However, the results and implementation of this law have been widely controversial. The role of our education system should not be focused on what the law calls a student’s “adequate yearly progress” (2015, April 10, Alyson Klein, No Child Left Behind). This system inherently focuses on only the…

As the world famous scientist Albert Einstein once said, “ Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid” (Investigator). The same idea goes for many children across the world. Everyone has different interests, hobbies and talents just as a fish can swim a whole lot better than a monkey, however that monkey can climb a tree as where the fish cannot. Millions of children are trying to climb that tree all…

judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” No two students are the same, so why every student take the same test.

Studies done by US News and the Washington Post show that standardized tests don’t help students learn. A study done by the New York Times even…

Standardized testing is common throughout the many school systems in the United States.

tests as “any test that's administered, scored, and interpreted in a standard, predetermined manner” (qtd. in ProCon.org). “Standardized tests have been a part of American education since the mid-1800s. Their use skyrocketed after 2002's No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) mandated annual testing in all 50 states” (ProCon.org). Standardized testing should be discarded. Alfie Kohn, author on human behavior, education, and parenting, cites a study: ...actively engaged if they went back over…

seem to be very indulgent when it comes to matters of death. I now understand that when a death is not dealt with properly, the spirit of the person can become desperate and hungry. Even worse is when a person's death does not allow for proper care; child deaths, deaths away from a family, or cases where a person dies without any living friends or relatives to care for them are unfortunate because the person will automatically receive inadequate treatment into the afterlife. Even worse is when a…
