I did not see any learning targets for this article. That would be a great addition. I did like how the author broke down each of the sections and really showed each side of the topic. I think it showed a non bias opinion and led the reader to make their own discision. I thought the questions were well formatted. I would have liked to have seen a picture or something extra. I ddi like the quote at the top of the page. Sston008 (talk) 00:39, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

I also liked how the article was organizsed and how it went into deep explanations of the different arguements. Standardized testing is something that I have always been on the fence about. On one hand, it does provide accountability to educators and gives schools real data about standardized performance. However, my biggest problem with standardized testing is that teachers are under so much pressure to drill the SOLs into the student's brain, that they lose track of the things that could actually improve their lessons. Teachers begin to teach the test and omit certain aspects of the curriculum which could also be very important. Alucy001 (talk) 03:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
