Testing is a way to measure what students have learned from their teachers. Standardized/High-Stakes testing is a tool used to measure the performance of students and the tincture of teachers in world school systems. High-Stakes testing is an inaccurate measuring stick of teaching quality and thus is detrimental to the educational system.Pressure is being exerted on students to delineate, and teachers to enable their students to pass the standardized tests being presented to them. This takes much classroom time that could be spent instructing students on what might be much worthful information, and kind of study for the test by what some consider rote memorization (Silva). Experiments have been done seeing how much different teaching approaches were forwards and after the implementation of standardized testing (Desimone). These experiments demonstrated how vastly the battle between teaching to the test and teaching what the instructor believes is the most valuable knowledge a nd the best way to present this knowledge. If there is a disjuncture between what Americas teachers believe is best to know, and what is on the examinations, therefore one of the two is flawed, and it is not likely to be what the teachers are teaching. Students evidently do not care about their results on standardized tests. numerous students either Christmas Tree (pick random serve wells, named because people sometimes collect shapes) or just select one answer and continue with the same answer the entire way down (Tests that count). Students only motivator is that they might move on to the next grade, or that they have to pass to graduate. There are a significant number of students who simply trickle out of high school. They can either get a GED or find a job that will sustain ... ...en if say, a conjure had died within the past week. That would certainly be jarring enough to assign a pardon to a student. All a university would see, though, is a queen-sized F on the tran script.Teachers will neglect students that need the most facilitate to help those who need a slight shove. This is known as educational triage (Booher-Jennings 231). Those on the threshold of passing the state mandated tests are significantly to a greater extent likely to receive help from instructors than those that are significantly lower than their peers (233). This is to make the district look better as these children are far more likely to pass the test with the extra assistance. This still leaves the ones who were left stern essentially out to dry. If anything, it should be the opposite. The ones who are at the lowest levels should be receiving the most assistance on standardized test preparation.
