In coming across the statement, we do not believe that standardized test scores can be regarded as evidence of our students learning or of our teaching , brings about an issue that makes my blood boil. To think that standardized testing has anything to do with educating is ridiculous.
Standardized ideas don t work.
Because, before you know it, you have all of the teachers teaching just to make sure that her students pass the test and not paying attention to really educating the students and providing memorable learning experiences. I know that most of my school experiences consisted of worksheets and tests, which is a shame. Final grades and test scores was all that ever mattered to me, who cares what I learned on the way. Most of the time it was memorize and cram for the test today and forget the information by tomorrow. The learning process is so much more important than standardized tests and hopefully more people will realize that.
