This is an article that I will use in my paper. I will use it because it gives 15 reasons why testing is worthless for our schools. It also goes into details and backs up all 15 reasons. All of which are relevant to my argument of standardized testing being worthless.

This is a good article that I will reflect on in my final paper. I will use this
article because it talks about why schools are teaching to the test. It talks about the
importance of school decreasing. Schools are working too hard to prepare their students for
standardize tests and not to prepare them for the next level of their life. 3. Fair Tests The National Center for Fair and Open Testing." The Dangerous Consequences of
High-Stakes Standardized Testing, 17 Dec. 2007, www.fairtest.org/

This is a good article because it discusses the impact testing has on students. It goes into the negative effects standardized testing has on the students taking them. It also talks about how it is an unfair way to measure a student’s intelligence. I will use this article while writing my final paper.

This is an article that I will definitely use in my paper. I like the article because it goes into great
details about why we do not need standardized testing. Specifically, it talks about how
expensive it is to give these exams to our students.
