This Amazing Letter From A Teacher To Her Students Tells Us What’s Wrong With Standardized Testing
Source: Addicting Info
Standardized tests have long been a source of controversy. Students fear them and parents and many teachers believe that the tests eliminate critical thought and narrow students’ educations.
Worst of all, standardized tests can be very demoralizing to students who don’t score well. So much focus during the school year is spent on standardized tests, often to the exclusion of music and the arts, that students may begin to believe that the tests are a measure of intelligence, a measure of self-worth.
