Education Issue
One
issue I feel very strongly about is the way students are tested. Students are most commonly tested through
standardized testing. This is a very big issue, because students are being
taught with only the test in mind. To
truly learn something it most become a behavior tendency. Think, yourself, of
all the things you have been taught throughout your life, how much of what you
were taught became a behavior tendency? By answering that question you are
discovering how much information it is that you have truly learned. One reason that this has become such an issue
is because all too much the student is learning with only one goal, to pass the
test. You yourself might once have asked or heard a peer ask why we need to
know the information being taught, and gotten the response well you need to
pass the test. An answer like this is where the true problems begin. A students
mind is smart enough to know that he or she can cram to study, using
memorization and still pass with a good grade, and although the goal of these
tests is to see how much you have learned,
learning is not required to pass an evaluation, doesn’t that seem odd?
