STUDENTS / TEACHERS

TEST  SCORES

Standardized Testing and the effect it has on Students as well as their Teachers.  There is wayyyy too much emphasis put on the whole Testing process.  Many Teachers start prepping their students months ahead of the Testing date.  They also keep encouraging their students to do their best and inform them if they don't they might not be able to progress to the next grade level the following school year.  That is such pressure put on these little minds that they shouldn't have that on their mind when they are trying to perform the best that they can.  That makes so many of them become nervous about the whole Testing situation.  The Test should be administered later in the school year without any Test prep.  The students should be given the opportunity to take the Test without any pressure put on them just like taking any daily test.
