Just kidding there will always those test teachers handout to us, but could we get rid of the government standardized tests, maybe.
THESIS: Standardized testing is not the most accurate way to measure a student's academic abilities or knowledge.
Arguments:
1. Rich vs. Poor
2. School/Teacher vs. School/Teacher
3. Subjects Tested
4.Grading of the tests.
What I still need to find out is more stats on the rich vs. poor and why rich tend to test higher than poor or middle class. I also would like a little bit more on what states test better and why. I want to touch on how the states that pay their teachers more the test scores are higher.
I like your arguments. I don't understand how those test determine whether or not someone is academically up to par. Some students are not good test takers and although they are smart the test would say otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI am all for the No more test. Minus they fact that i wish this would have been done throughout my school days. I think you should be able to find a lot of supporters. Great topic! :)
