How to Improve Schools and Assess Students

I think a way to improve schools is to not make testing so hard the students. I mean to not make weigh so heavy. Now I am in the 11th grade and we take the GEE and in order to graduate I have to past that test. I could have made good grades and everything but if i don't past that test I'm not going to be able to graduate. i think that is unfair for the students who are not good test takers. I think there should still be testing but not put so much pressure on the students. I would make it easier for people to get into schools. There wouldn't  be private schools everybody school would be the same. Public schools don't always get everything that private schools get. If you take out the private schools, all schools would be given everything they need, not based on their standardized test scores. I think test scores determining how much money a school get is stupid. If the schools did have the money to get everything they need to work with the students I think test scores would would be higher than what the scores are now.

  1. Good job. Why do we rely so much on standardized tests? Look at the chapter you were reading in class on Thursday. How does policy relate to your experience as a student in an urban public high school?
