Education

I personally believe that standardized testing will benefit us if we take it seriously. Some students will just give up and will not even attempt to study, they've already given up and plan on dropping out before they graduate high school. Then there are the students that strives to succeed and study for these standardized tests. These test helps students study, which is something you will need in the future in college. Just face it, you are going to need to study in college even if you were one of those kids that never had to study in high school. So studying now will help you out in the future.  Also standardized testing benefits teacher to see how well your doing and what they need to do. Another reason is it lets the parents of the child, know how well they're doing. Most people probably wouldn't like that =) but it's beneficial for the parents. Of course there is a negative side to standardized testing but I won't get into that. So here's the link of the web page I used to help me write this and you should take a look yourself to see what side your on. http://www.brighthub.com/education/k-12/articles/16137.aspx
