Declaring Independence from Virginia’s Standardized Tests

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

Get rid of standardized tests???

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

You cannot standardize a person. Why would you standardize the tests you give them?? @LCPSOfficial #individualizedlearning

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

These tests only benefit the businesses making them. Students who can’t afford tests and tutoring are looked past. Tests should benefit anyone! Not only certain groups who can afford to be smart!

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

This explains everything! No workplace skills! Only testing! #weneedskills

How we feel about standardized testing:

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

Tests label students:
If you do poorly= dumb, slow learner
If you do great= smart, fast learner
#stopthelabels

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

Tests are like prisons of the mind! You can’t talk, move or do anything when test taking. Sometimes you can’t even eat or drink! #prisonersofthemind

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

Testing doesn’t take in diversity or creativity.. what if some people learn differently, or they think differently? Do tests take these factors into consideration? Nope! #creativityislost #EqualityForAll

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

Standardized tests promote cheating and dishonesty! The constant obsession of getting perfect scores makes people want to cheat! #nomoretests

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

Students don’t have skill sets needed for careers anymore #stopthestudying

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

The SAT scores determine if some people will go to college.. but what if someone smart does poorly on it? #notfair

[StudentsAgainstTesting @AgainstTesting]

SAT=stress #nomorestandardtests
