extremely unfair and is not accurate at all, the test subjects students to a useless and ultimately harmful test for no reason at all. It is inaccurate in the sense that the test in one subject is taken over the course of a day. Depending on factors often outside of the student’s control, the child cannot be held totally responsible for the resulting score. Standardized testing causes extreme, unnecessary stress on not only the students taking the test, but the teacher as well. It…

colleges to prove a student’s mastery in various schools subjects. Tests such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), American College Testing (ACT), and other state course completion assessments are a burden on students. Students, who have high hopes of attending college, aim for a certain scores in order to be admitted into their dream school and there is no guarantee that they will be admitted. Course completion assessments usually tests students on objectives they were supposed to learn…

immediately dismisses Dr. Basich’s plan because the council does not involve itself in instructional decisions. Ms. Shipman does not seem concerned with the fact that over half of the student population is failing to make an acceptable score on the state test. In fact, she feels teachers should not be blamed for poor performances because the students who are failing all come from economically disadvantaged families. Dr. Basich learns from a member of the HSC that none of the…

Other people on the other hand, may say that academic culture does not affect how people view people and the world. In the essay, “An Indian Father’s Plea”, an Indian student's father is writing a letter to his son’s teacher about the extent of his son’s education. Among many other points, his father shows the teacher how much his son has learned over the years despite his lack of a “traditional education”. His Father goes on the state that, “He is a full basket coming into a different…

up why you ask yourself as you fill in the last bubble on tour test. Then you get to thinking should students take these tests. But then you realized you were thinking out loud and somebody says no we should not. Then you get in trouble so the teacher tells you when we get back from winter break you going to write a paper because you got in trouble. So you think about your three reasons that students should not have to take the test and they are, It takes up teachers teaching time, students…

I see Rockville High School as Panopticon because in school kids are disciplined and controlled by administrator, teacher, and, security guards. Teachers teach kids how to act and behave. If kids don’t listen or behave the teacher want them to then kids are sent to administrator office. Administrator suspends these kids or separates that kid from the class even if they are good kid. Administrator does this put fear in kids heart, so they will think twice before going against the school morals.…

this be on the test?” The words uttered so often by students in the classroom. A curious student wondering if they actually need to take notes. But why should the student only care to learn what is on the test. Isn’t the whole point of education to learn? What has our education system become if students no longer care to learn for the sake of learning? You might say that students must take tests in order to see where there are. But even with this, why do all student take the same test. Albert…

timed by 25, 20, and 10 minute intervals. What if a student reads slowly and cannot finish the reading section in 25 minutes? What if a student has trouble figuring out a math problem and does not have enough time to finish it? What if a student’s test anxiety interferes with his or her progress? Their scores are affected by these problems and could potentially have a lower score than expected. This number is supposed to prove their knowledge and skill to a college that they wish to attend. That…

No it should not be taught because kids get taught this useless information and when they get into the real world they have no clue what to do like pay taxes or get a mortgage if they could afford it but the use their minds math that won't even help them and most of the time they are struggling in algebra instead i believe that when you get out of high school you can go to college and take classes for algebra if you choose instead of it taking up space for teachers to show their students on…

my teachers being very against standardized testing. They told us that standardized testing doesn’t fairly evaluate our knowledge, they only evaluate what we can put on paper. Again, I didn’t question it. The fact that my teachers didn’t like the tests just meant I wouldn’t have to take any extra exams. Being that I didn’t have much knowledge about the act I had to rely solely on internet research. I found that most of the research I could get my hands on seemed…
