Essay #3 Topic

I finally decided on the topic of Standardized testing. I chose this topic because I do not think it's fair to judge a students academic capability. Basically I just think standardized testing is over-rated. What I already know about this topic is the wide variety of standardized tests there are. I also know how much money it's costing to distribute these tests every year. What I would like to know more on is what people on the opposite side have to say about standardized testing. I would also like to research the experiments that have been done to see if standardized testing accurately shows a students academic knowledge.
