Resolved: Public high school students in the United States ought not be required to pass standardize

the negative is not required to pose a framework. I just need to punch the holes out of my case before the first tournament Resolved: Public high school students in the United States ought not be required to pass standardized exit exams to graduate I affirm this resolution. My value for this round will be Societal Welfare. Societal Welfare is the welfare or moral benefit of the citizens added to the economical, social, moral, and public stability of the society. This value is inherent to the resolution because the resolution explicitly states the United States as the background with a political background about exit exams. My value criterion for this round will be Efficiency. The more a society is efficient, the more money it has to afford luxuries, therefore increasing the amount of public welfare and political welfare. This value is designed to show how a society should be run to cut losses and gain political and moral background. O1: I want to make one thing clear in this observation. I have no quarrel with the exit exams. They bring forth no problems as long as they follow a certain guideline. They will not be used to graduate. They serve no purpose as instruments of society to allow their citizens to graduate. As such I will outline how the society can better use these exams to evaluate understanding. O2: I find that it is rather hard to decide if any test is truly a standardized test. As such I require that the test follow a few guidelines to maintain equity and fairness in the round. 1.The test must be taken to graduate 2.the test must evaluate at least 4 core areas of intelligence. Literary arts, Mathematical arts, scientific arts, Historic knowledge. 3.The test must be standardized, meaning, that it is taken across all of the United States. The same test is provided at the end of the school year. C1: Lower Class jobs. Since historic times there have always been jobs that are preformed with little knowledge about the outside world. These are the ignorant jobs of society, formulated for the least intelligent of society. These jobs require little of the knowledge that we knew even back then. A construction worker needs only the knowledge needed to obey and use the tools necessary to complete his task. A restaurant worker needs only to know how to be courteous, diligent, fast, and knowledgeable about the menu. My goal here is not to lessen the worth these jobs for they are the building blocks of society, public works, and the image that foreigners receive. These men and women are as worthy as any member of society. All I point out is that they don't need an education in math or science. They need an education in service, diligence, physical work. The truth is that every job is based on different knowledge. These members of society often drop out of school to work in these jobs. The reason that they drop out of school is exit exams. They have passed everything that has come past them so far. The future artists, construction workers, serving industry workers, manufacturers, politicians, and writers are stopped by that exit exam. The problem is that they don't often need the knowledge that is on that exit exam. It would aid efficiency if these workers were allowed their diplomas just for passing 12th grade. C2: Alternatives There are many alternatives to taking an exit exam. The valid public purpose of a diploma is to certify a level of competence to prospective employers and to schools beyond high school having admission standards. However, colleges generally have admissions departments that can demand a variety of tests scores and evaluations to suit their particular purposes. I suppose that, for example, Harvard could manage to select applicants without the benefit of high school diploma standards, because they would invest the effort into evaluating SAT scores, teacher evaluations, recommendations, and examples of the applicants work like essays, and so forth. That makes qualification for employment the most important use of a diploma. And as such there is no need for another standard upon which to judge. Alternative Counter Plan: I suppose that the exam should still be taken for the purposes of entry into college. The test will not certify whether a participant graduates or not, instead it gives those who want to continue into college to show their knowledge and if in truth certify their diploma to the university. And it gives those who want to work in other fields the chance to fulfill their wish and opt out of taking the exam. Think of it like another SAT. If the students left with this knowledge from school then they should be able to certify their capabilities to get into college. This maximizes the efficiency of the society. It puts the workers where they belong, by integrating them into the working class as soon as possible. This increases the number of happy citizens in the society by maximizing the amount of compatible jobs.
