Standardized test don’t only inhibit the students progress. Teachers are affected as well. As a future teacher I look at standardized tests and think to myself what am I going to be able to teach after I graduate. Am I going to be able to teach the students, to be able to focus on topics that they are interested in? Or am I going to have to pound information into their head so they will be able to pass a standardized test?
Essentially I’m afraid that as a teacher I am not going to have the freedom to alter my lesson plans if students become interested in a topic. Or I’m not going to be able to take the extra time I need to really help the students when they are in need of it. Are standardized tests going to take over the education world? Am I going to be forced to teach a test rather than allow students to really learn and grow as students and individuals?
