We live in a social media world and schools and teachers must be up to date with the latest technology. A time where people have the capabilities to look up information about the school their children will attend. It used to be a child went to the school in his/her neighborhood, no questions asked. Now parents have the opportunity to send their children to schools that are not in their neighborhoods, like magnet schools. Thanks to technology schools not well known to parents can be Googled.

country. Welfare is one of the roots of this growing issue. Our country is digging themselves a grave by creating laws that go against what our country was founded on. Although many argue that the constitution gives citizens privacy to avoid drug tests, it never mentioned welfare. The founding fathers produced a strong country in the beginning, and would be appalled with our country today. The country they made was strong and free, and that must be restored. The first step in this action would be

Since the mid-1800s, standardized tests have played a part in America’s education system. In 1969, the Federal Department of Education began focusing on the educational achievement of students. In 1994, the Clinton administration revised the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, created during the War on Poverty, to reduce achievement gaps in kindergarten through twelfth grade public education. The Clinton administration made every state that received money from the federal government for high-poverty

Judging a student’s future off of a test that is not structured around their personal abilities is not fair. Every student is not the same, therefor should not be tested like so. It is important to keep in mind that 13% of high school students have a learning disability and many students just have a hard time taking test. Looking at a response to the New York Times blog “How Well Do You Think Standardized Test Measure Your Abilities?”. Lauren states that she had been a 4.0 student throughout her

Should kids be charged as adults? In 2015 two girls were accused of stabbing their classmate to please a horror character named Slenderman. They are being tried as adults for attempted homicide . They were 15. These are only two out of many kids tried as adults. I personally feel it is not right according to the circumstances. In contrast many people feel that these kids should be punished as adults so they can “learn their lesson”. Of course I feel that these kids should be punished but not as

Have you ever been taking standardized test and thought “wow this sucks”? Did you know that the average 8th grader spends about 20-25 hours taking and preparing for standardized tests. Some people would say that we need more standardized test, but I think we already have enough test. I believe that we do not need any more test, because stress, it isn’t accurate, and it takes to long. My first piece of evidence that we don't need any new tests is that testing causes stress. Testing already causes

How can it be that a student’s ACT score is more important than their GPA? Is it possible that a four-hour test can hold more weight than four years of high school grades? Would it not be great if students could get the same amount of money for a high GPA that they can get for a high ACT score? GPA can show hard work, strength, self-discipline, consistency, intelligence and personal accomplishments. Scholarships should not be awarded based primarily on ACT scores but on a student’s GPA. Scholarships

The professor had separated the class into two groups. Group 1 was the right side, and Group 2 was the left side of the classroom. The entire class had to put their heads down while the professor wrote something on the board. Group 1 was told to raise their head and answer the question on the board. The question was “Do you weigh more running or walking?” They were given the options of running or walking and had to choose between the two. Group 1 put their heads down, and the professor wrote something

I have taken countless of tests. Several tests were effortless and several were wearying. All these years I waste time in taking these. I always wonder to myself... are these tests worth something because it sure does not feel like it. Imagine having to put effort on these simple tests to earn cash. The problem is this, some people believe schools should offer cash bonuses for good test scores and others do not. I believe schools should offer cash bonuses for good test scores because it would change

of 2006, less than half of highschoolers tested, would receive a C or higher in college algebra. Many high school exit exams test 10th grade skills. This Does not prepare you for college courses. Bill Moore, the director of the Transition Mathematics Project, notices that students can be pushed too hard and too fast. “They rush through curriculum, they take a placement test-- and have to take remedial math.” This makes students discouraged, and at a higher risk to drop out. Many students are in the
