Excerpt from Away with Standardized Testing!
Sure, supporters of this dream-killing, money-sucking machine believe that standardized tests push educators to cover more content and skills and
that stricter, more-aligned standardized tests ensure students are college-ready. But do these supporters stop to think about the emotional impact

acceptance into a college of their dreams or graduate or rank highly, they are more inclined to consider dropping out of school, not pursuing college
and, more tragically, suffer low self-esteem.
