  1. Student E Standardized Testing & Education. America must remove this type of testing from The American Educational system.

  2. These standardized tests begin as early as Kindergarten • Determine the special needs of children. • It is known that children perform unreliably on tests. • Results vary from day to day. • Continuing this is not allowing an equal education.

  3. Teachers • Teachers do not have suffiecient timing to educate students on other subjects such as science, social studies and math. • Teachers may be able to offer their own tests without the pressure on the student • Teachers spend too much time lecturing in classrooms and disengage the student.

  4. No Child Left Behind Act • President Bush passed this act in 2002 • It is to make sure all children receive and equal and fair education. • These “high stakes” testing is not beneficial to a student who may be poverty sticken or who may have a language barrier.

  5. To teach and memorize is a result in forgetting. This is not effective education. • We must refrain and incorporate problem solving and critical thinking. • Parents and educators must come together and help build new strategies on how to better the educational system. • Singapore is referred to as the “learning nation” Their govt. also pays for their education.

  6. Creativity • Students who are given choices allows creativity. • “Criticizing” has a negative effect on how children develop ideas. • Using their imagination and encouragement leads to a successful student.

  7. Final Thoughts • These standardized test are ridiculed and biased, we as parents and educators must come together to be able to make a change. • America must take notes from those countries who have benefited from the changes they have made. • Put a STOP to the way we test our children! Success lies within the known facts.
