I have a strong concern about the weight of standardized testing. I remember back in middle school if you got a certain percentage score, you were forced to take upon extra core classes in hopes of bettering that number. Kids did not get the privilege to take classes that were enjoyable to them. I do not think kids should be restricted based on one test. There could be a ton of reasons why some did not perform well on that one specific day. Standardized testing goes as far as to getting into colleges. That one score hold so much and determines many students they acceptance decision to various colleges. I do not think this is morally right. How does a four year work (high school) of dedicated study get override by a four hour test? Not everybody is blessed with the gift to naturally perform well under an extensive amount of pressure. I strongly feel that colleges along with high/middle schools should take the time and look over the positives of standardized testing. I definitely do not see a lot.
