Standardized Testing:
Just What the Teacher Ordered
Standardized testing of students means that all students are given the same test or same kind of
test. Standardized testing can be stressful, but ultimately it is useful for both students and
teachers. The students' scores show the effectiveness of the teacher. If students do not show good
results, the teacher can be held responsible. A student's scores also can be used by teachers to
pinpoint the student's weak areas. Standardized testing makes sure that no student is ever
ignored. Standardized testing also allows teachers to see how the student compares with other
students in other schools or states. In this way, schools can pinpoint if the problem is with the
student or with the school itself. Best of all, standardized tests allow students to be graded
fairly. Students will no longer suffer because a teacher favors certain students. Instead, all students
will be treated the same, regardless of their backgrounds or differences.
Standardized Testing:
A Monster Out of Control
Standardized testing of
students means that all students are given the same test or same kind of
test. Standardized testing is often harmful to students. Standardized testing gives importance only
to what the student puts down on their test. The overall performance of the student in other areas,
such as art and sports doesn't count. Studies have shown that standardized testing causes stress
to both students and teachers. Many teachers only teach test questions. Teaching this way limits
children's imaginations and creativity. Standardized testing also does not take into account the
different backgrounds that children come from and the different problems they may face. Such
tests ignore the uniqueness and differences of students.

Read the passage from animal farm. one sunday morning squealer announced that the hens, who had just come in to lay again, must surrender their eggs. napoleon had accepted, through whymper, a contract for four hundred eggs a week. the price of these would pay for enough grain and meal to keep the farm going till summer came on and conditions were easier. when the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry. they had been warned earlier that this sacrifice might be necessary, but had not believed that it would really happen. they were just getting their clutches ready for the spring sitting, and they protested that to take the eggs away now was murder. for the first time since the expulsion of jones, there was something resembling a rebellion. led by three young black minorca pullets, the hens made a determined effort to thwart napoleon's wishes. their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. he ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. the dogs saw to it that these orders were carried out. for five days the hens held out, then they capitulated and went back to their nesting boxes. nine hens had died in the meantime. their bodies were buried in the orchard, and it was given out that they had died of coccidiosis. whymper heard nothing of this affair, and the eggs were duly delivered, a grocer's van driving up to the farm once a week to take them away. which detail from the passage supports the claim that this is an allegory for the great purge? the hens holding out for five days but capitulating the eggs being delivered to the grocer the protesting hens being intentionally starved coccidiosis spreading on the farm
