Concluding Explorations

My thinking has evolved from a complex understanding to a more simple one as I did my exploration. I learned how standardized testing not only provokes poor measurements towards students abilities but many other things such as the ones I mentioned in my previous posts. Every time I found research, it lead me to other different questions, and sometimes found myself getting sidetracked answering and talking about the real question. But those questions led me to the understanding of, how standardized test cause other issues. That will impact the answer to the real question. Meaning that I definitely found not only one satisfactory answer to my initial question but many. Although some questions still linger in my mind such as, if having proof and studies, why can't there be something done, to stop thinking that the way to measure a students ability is by giving them a standardized test? So that's the question I will still wonder in the weeks ahead or until schools have found a new solution to stop this. My final point is that I will argue and agree with why standardized tests don't measure your abilities very well. Or should i say not at all.
