standardize tests

Joe Booker

                I feel that standardized testing puts more pressure on the teachers and students then is necessary. Standardize test are making teachers teach to the standardize test and not teaching for students to learn. The importance of school is to educate the children, they are the future of our world; these kids need knowledge not testing. My school prepared me for my standardized tests by getting ready for the standardize test the whole year so we were ready when we took it at the end of the year. This prepared us for the test but did it prepare us for life? These tests are taking away from the quality of our education.  If I had the ways and the means to I would get rid of standardize testing. Who cares what school does better than the others or what children are smarter than others if all the children are getting a quality education that’s all that matters. Quality education makes quality people, making the world a better place.  This should be the focus of education and this is how I plan to make education in the future.
