Terminating State Testing

  • by: Zach Lamb

State Testing is ineffective in Oklahoma. They waste money, cause too much stress, and aren't fair tests.

State testing is like asking a walrus, a shark, a monkey, and an elephant to see who can climb a tree the fastest.

The tests test a variety of students who each have different talents.

The tests are ineffective because the results do not come back until months after. The student could be in a different grade so the results would have no relevance as to how the student can improve.

According to standarizedtests.procon.org, since 2008 state testing has costed 1.1 billion dollars for the United States.
