I don't believe standarized testing is necessary to measure and evalute what students have learned because it should be the teacher that does it since the teacher has been working with kids the most.
Students should not be denied promotion or diplomas based on the results from one test because students are talented in other ways which may not be test taking. Some students aren't able to recieve the best tutoring because they cant afford it.
Standerized testing does not make teachers more accountable for what their students learn because their questions on the test that aren't taught in school but by tutors specifically for the test.
Standarized testing could unfair to minority students because they dont have the proper living conditions to perform well on standarized testing.
