Excerpt from Away with Standardized Testing!
Sure, supporters of this dream-killing, money-sucking machine believe that standardized tests push educators to cover more content and skills and

of standardized testing on student engagement and motivation? When students perform poorly test after test after test, not being able to gain
acceptance into a college of their dreams or graduate or rank highly, they are more inclined to consider dropping out of school, not pursuing college
and, more tragically, suffer low self-esteem.
