Should a test determine one’s success? An individual’s knowledge cannot be measured by simple trials such as standardized testing. Standardized testing has plagued the educational system for several years, affecting the lives of young individuals. Students with test taking deficiencies, such as anxiety, tend to lose focus and also suffer from drops in self-esteem. These adversities tend to affect even the highest performers of the academic year. Standardized testing is mostly a bad way of…

The perception of likeability was rated by participants on a 1 to 10 scale. We grouped the data depending on the background colors: dark red, dark green, gold, navy blue, and black.

Likeability is going to be something that causes individuals to judge other individuals. One thing about likeability is going to be different judgments towards something. It does not matter if those individuals like a given topic or give situation. I have give four examples to support that likeability can change depending on the situation. The effects of service dogs on social acknowledgments of people in wheelchairs (Obermiller et al., 2011) showed that people make judgments on people in a…

Mahnoor Shaikh Although standardized testing gives teachers a guideline to teach what the students should know for the test, teachers only teach for tests rather than teaching to benefit the children; therefore standardized testing should not be school because it does not measure the mental capability of a person.
