I think that this is an amazing topic. I mean i can recall being younger andnever understanding how in any way I would benefit from a standardized test. In no way do children benefit, except by learning from the GOVERNMENT THEMSELVES ...that we are to take shortcuts in life in order to succeed to the fullest. HAHA...what a joke. ANd..on the topic of applying to colleges for example...id like to hear an explanation how a number a student recieves on a test is suppose to represent a well rounded, good student who is a match for their university...this entire issue of standardized testing astonishes me...to be honest it is all a way to create more jobs and for the gov. to turn a buck.

Those tests are pretty riduculous and that age i really don't see how they do anything, but harm. Now we have to figure out how to motivate kids to excell.
