Public High School Students and Exit Exams

I would like to apologize to my opponent for upsetting the balance and agree not to post in the last round. Lets continue. I will first rebut my opponents case and then move on to rebuild mine. I will group my attacks on his value and criterion. His Value of progressive post-industrialism or PPI as put is defined as "the evolution of industrialist societies into more technologically advanced and culturally progressed civilizations dedicated to humanist principles of justice and human dignity". What my opponent wants to achieve here basically is society progressing through technology and education which he is trying to achieve through accountability through educational systems. My opponent who wants students to take S.E.E. (standardize exit exams) thinks this will make society evolve and become more civilized but this is unpragmatic. If we were to look at my contentions we could see that S.E.E.'s don't actually help society progress at all because of how many kids are needing remedial classes as I stated in my CON 1. Also the schools are not being held accountable if we were to have S.E.E in place because as I stated in my case they have the ability to fluctuate the bar to there liking so that the test are extremely easy so that students can pass and the school gets rewarded for having high test scores but the students are the ones who get harmed. CON 1: "The American economy is faltering on the global scale because of inadequacies in the educational system" "Domestic and international economies have shifted, and a new base of skills are required for the workforce. In the last 10 years over 3 million manufacturing jobs were lost while 15 million service sector jobs were created. These new jobs required basic math and English levels that were found to be lacking in many American high school graduates." As I stated in my case this is due to S.E.E. because they still pass people who don't know what the need to go on into the work force and be a productive member of society. So this evidence shows a direct cause of what S.E.E. do if we would to force them upon students. I don't see what European nations have to do with this topic this clearly states the United States. Con 2:"Only high-stakes exams can achieve any form of accountability." Apply my attack on his V and C to his Con 2 On to my case V: As he said we both value societal benefit but only one of us is achieving it. He is not achieving a progress at all, he is in fact hindering it by making students take S.E.E. as I proved throughout my case. The Aff states that without E.E we could actually have productive members of society by teaching them a curriculum that is not limited and by making them analyze situations and think critically. C: We can still achieve a valued diploma because if the person who is graduating actually has knowledge and going into society as a productive citizen then it is valued unlike one that is give after taking S.E.E. Regarding the definition; all states have their own standardize exam so the def. meets state. Con 1:S.E.E. harm them (CON 1 and 2) I don't understand how my opponent is getting rid of these harms. Con 2: As I stated the teachers have to teach a curriculum that is related to the test therefore limiting them to what they can teach. Thank you
