Standardized testing. What is this trying to say about our students? That everybody is the same? Standardized? There’s no such thing. With standardized testing comes controversy. Especially being here on Guam, our students are not exposed to a lot of things the mainland students might be exposed to. Even on the mainland there may be some conflict. Afterall, the culture in a small town like Alamogordo, NM may be very different from a big city like Santa Monica, CA. Even somebody living in Brooklyn, NY will be exposed to things somebody in Manhattan may not be exposed to. So where do we draw the line when it comes to putting these standardized tests together?
Who comes up with these tests anyway?
