Testing impacted students and teachers.
00:06
I think this testing, personally, this testing has been one of the worst things that has happened in education.
00:14
Why? it leads to increased stress on both the teachers and the students.
00:21
Also leads to anxiety for both of them as well, because both of them were judged on a single high -stakes test, which is not correct.
00:30
High -stakes testing leads to a narrowed curriculum because teachers focus more on the test than they do the content.
00:38
So we teach to the test, which narrows the curriculum.
00:42
This is terrible.
00:44
Because students do not really understand the material.
00:48
They're just looking to pass a particular test, memorize, regurgitate, and then they forget.
00:54
Decreased motivation...
