Pros & Cons in Education Today

In a lot of schools across Texas, the extreme importance given to standardized testing is unnecessary. I do not think that it is helping students reach their potential at all! On the other hand, in education today, most schools give students the opportunity to enroll in upper level classes that give each student the chance to expand their knowledge in any subject.

  1. Well stated Priyanak. Essentially the over emphasis on stadardized testing for student assessment has led to an encroachment on both teacher and student differentiation of teachinig and learning needs in the classroom.
