Standardized testing I believe is not the right approach to base a kids intelligence. Everyones brain thinks differently and they learn things in ways these tests don't explore and that many teachers aren't teaching. Many students don't do well on these tests because of the stress it puts on there brain to achieve and most of the stuff on them they have never learned in their lives and it's hard to see their intelligence when we out random things in a packet and expect them to know it all.
I agree that testing is hard on students but I do not really see any alternatives that would work, that would test a students ability to learn.
ReplyDeleteIt's true that everyone thinks different and how the teachers don't even teach most of the stuff on the actual test
