Testing

The think that we are not looking at the child holistically when it comes to standardize test. If a child has a disability   they take the same test.  For example if a child with autism they are on the   first grade level but in the fourth grade the will take the test on the fourth grade level.  In my opinion   I feel that we are teaching to the test. In the Philadelphia School District every six week the students take bench mark test.

 I choose the PISA standardize Test. This test focus on math, reading, and science.  I compare United States with China. Shanghai lead the world in the PISA Score. Compare to China the United States is far behind science, math, and reading.  Shanghai student get out school at 4pm and cram homework until bedtime.

 

I think that we as teacher should come up it test that help the whole children. Also I think we should not be teaching to the test.  I also feel that our student are under a lot of pressured when it comes to taking test .Over all standardize test is the way school are measure how good school are doing.
