Students learning less?

"What we see out of these results is a very disturbing picture of the knowledge and skills of the young people about to go into college and the workforce," said Daria Hall

• Standardized tests are the worst thing to ever happen in education and to students.
• Not every student is a good test taker and not every student is on the same learning level.
• The State needs to get rid of standardized tests and stop judging and stereotyping students because of their grade on a few tests. These tests are very nerve wrecking for thousands of students and many are so overwhelmed that they are not able to focus. Are we really going to penalize students because of tests?
• I am bewildered by the fact that even Special Ed. students have to take standardized tests. There are thousands of talented and intelligent students in the world that get left behind or judged because of a grade they received on a test.
• I did horrific on every city wide test I had ever taken. I would stress out all year knowing I had to take these tests and would continue to stress out even after the test was over.
• How dare anyone base a students "knowledge" because of low grade they receive on a test. A test grade does not claim them not adequate enough to be successful in the world.
