Imagine, establishing a law about abolishing grades in schools. How many people and students over the age of eighteen will consider it the opportunity of a life time. I would imagine school being hundred times better. The reason being is that students are pressured into taking the TAKS test, and if you don’t pass it, you will not be able to go, to the next grade level. This “great idea” has failed many students. Yes, there are some students that are book smart, and will pass any test with a “B” or above. However, there are students that are just barely passing the class with a” C”. All through High School the “C” student may think they’re not smart enough to make it through college.
To me these tests are comparing the ability and intelligence from one student to another. I believe that the government and the school districts’ shouldn’t make an assumption in the test average of students. We as the students are all different and learn in many different ways, and what might work for one student, won’t work for the other. The same teaching over and over again for a teacher, only makes matter worse. What ever happened to having fun in school? Spice it up a little! We are living in a new modern world!
