researchers and experts say that standardized tests are a massive waste of time and effort, and they do not help students’ education at all. Both teachers and students agree that it is stressful and unnecessary. Some schools spend days, if not weeks, to test when they could be using the time to teach. Standardized tests also create unfair judgments to students and have their future based on a number. This shows why schools should get rid of standardized tests for the benefit of students and…

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).

Some schools that use Standardized tests have been closed or fired their teachers. They are doing that because they are having either too many failing students or the teachers aren't teaching their students.

Emphasis on high stakes testing has pressured teachers into teaching curriculum to pass the test rather than exposing students to new ideas and experiences. When a teacher’s…

Imagine a young child sitting in class about to take a standardized test. They sit there clutching your Number 2 pencil, trying to steady the shaking of their hands. This test could completely change their future occupation or where you attend college. They aren’t the valedictorian of their class, but they get pretty good grades, except when it comes to tests. They’ve never been a good test taker, and the stress always gets to them. While it is true that, that students may learn the material…
