NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES!

We should provide tests where students can express themselves and no be tied down to just one specific answer. This really comes into play because I believe the standardized tests tie down the student to a specific answer and instead of them expressing themselves and writing down their answers and explain to the teacher who would see that they had an idea in their mind then that is not possible since it all boils down to one answer. Jeff Bliss had an issue with his teacher because all he did was hand out packets and the student was left to maybe cram what was in there and give back to the teacher and this does not give a student an opportunity to give his idea and thus he is limited and you cannot measure their achievements fairly.

The students will not just be answer machines that simply  spit out answers that had been given to them beforehand. The idea of standardized tests is simply a teaching to test kind of idea where the students are drilled to give answers that the teacher requires this simply means that the teacher will not be able to know the level of understanding that the student has but simply grade them based on answers that they might have copied from another person. Sir Ken in the TED talk says that the education system has become or is shaped as fast food where everything has to work the same way each time and we should not expect that out of our kids we want them to get something eventually when they get out of college.

The teacher will create relationships with students since they know their needs and where they  need to improve. Jeff Bliss issue with his teacher was her just handing out handouts and not involving herself with the class it made him feel like all she did there was wait for her paycheck and not worry about they learnt something or not. This shows our society today where the schools are just there for drilling the same information to the kids not willing to be a part of their lives and just each day going by. If the teachers graded the student one by one they would know what their needs are where they need help and what level of understanding they have. Creating relationships with students plays a big role in even how they feel in that class and what they eventually get out of it.
