Editors Note: The following letters to the editor were submitted by Cami Badman’s honors English students at Sullivan High School. Studnts picked a debatable topic of their choice and used the techniques they learned in class. Several letters were provided to us and we have chosen to print the following letters. These are a continuation from last week’s edition.

Dear Editor,
Throughout recent years, standardized testing has become more prevalent across the United States. Millions of students are forced to test long hours and told to try their best. However, these tests fail to accurately measure the students of America. All things considered, there should not be standardized tests in schools. Derrick Meador, an education expert, exclaims,“ Students are tested on grade-appropriate material but they are not retested to determine if they have learned information they tested poorly on the year before.” If students are not retested, how would anyone know whether they have improved or not? With inaccurate tests, there should be no point in requiring students to take the tests in the first place.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
