I agree with
Caitlin completely. Standardized tests should be criticized and reevaluated. Only
39 percent of Florida students passed the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test
(FCAT). A Florida school board member took the test and scored poor in reading,
even when he has master’s degrees in English and teaches 39 graduate courses in
6 universities in Florida. One Florida 8th grader had all A’s, but
scored low on the FCAT and could no longer take her advanced prep courses. Last
fall, she spoke in front of her school board, crying, pleading to continue her
education while not counting the unfair standardized tests. The tests stress
out students. There are official standardized tests rules for students who
throw up from stress during test taking. There should not be rules in place for
situation like that. They do not benefit teachers. They only help Pearson
Education. The tests are not fair assessments, and need to be re evaluated.
