[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Standardized testing is great. It reminds everyone that they are not special snowflakes. The tests serve as a more objective measurement and feedback to the progress of a student. In the real world, a person's worth to society is relative to his/her performance against his/her peers. Your boss doesn't give you a pat on the head and tell you "good try!" You don't get waved through just for showing up and making the minimum effort. Standard tests is a way to remind kids that while they can grow and develop as individuals, they do need to check and make sure that they are making normal expected progress on the whole. [/quote] And in VA it's a minimal standards test. Not some SAT prep test like the PARCC is.[/quote]
