Standardized tests are racist and classist and keep historically oppressed students from graduating from high school and continuing into higher education.
Standardized tests are necessary to insure that all students meet a bare minimum before being allowed to graduate.
Standardized tests should be used to assess what students already know, have learned, and what skills/concepts teachers need to reinforce/teach.
Standardized tests are an outdated way to evaluate student progress and cause "teaching to the test" and high levels of stress among children.
Standardized tests are the best way to judge what a student knows, but there should only be one affordable uniform nation-wide exam.
