[quote=Anonymous]I think standardized testing has it's place where it provides something measurable. And you would hope be equivalent across the board. So there's nothing like grade bias and lets you compare different schools. (again, ideally) But it shouldn't take the place of instruction. Where a lot of complaints more recently is the amount of testing that could go on in a school year. Even worse if the school year is shortened due to something like snow days. So the testing has to be done and that means it takes away from instruction time. And it shouldn't be used as the only indicator on how a student is doing. And I would guess standardized testing would help students sort of prepare for other standardized tests that they may choose to take later. Such as the College Board exams, ACT, PSAT, SAT, AP exams, etc.[/quote]
