Obama and Testing

Page history last edited by VRBurton 13 years ago

 

Respond to Obama’s opinion http://tweentribune.com/content/obama-says-too-many-tests-make-school-boring  that less testing and more technology integration and meaningful activities are needed in classrooms.

 

Do you agree or disagree that you test too much?

 

“One thing I never want to see happen is schools that are just teaching the test because then you’re not learning about the world, you’re not learning about different cultures, you’re not learning about science, you’re not learning about math,” the president said. “All you’re learning about is how to fill out a little bubble on an exam and little tricks that you need to do in order to take a test and that’s not going to make education interesting.”

 

What SHOULD you have to do/make/create/produce/publish to prove that you deserve to get a grade in your classes?

I agree that we test to much because testing really does not help. I think that if we dont test as much this will help. School needs to keep us students interested and not bored. To me school isn't teaching me anyhing about the world or what is going out in the wold.

I agree with Obama's opinion because students are gretting tired of taking tests for no reason.We need to take less tests so we can have more time for studying.With all the failing going on,its because of all the test we take.We're not getting enough time to study.In my opinion, I really think that we should have time to study so we can have a chance at passing.

I agree with Obama's statement because it's true.Students are taking too many tests and they have to focus on multiple courses.Plus,some students may have memory or focus problems. Or even both,like me.That's why I agree with Obamas statement.

I agree because i think taking a standardize every year to pass that grade is boring. If was we able to graduate high school with just the ACT would be great. I think you should be able to pass with participation and grades.

I don't really agree with Obama statement about schools are giving too much test to student. In my school we get one test per week, which isn't much.

Obama says too many test make school to boring



Obama believes that taking too many test is making school boring.
I agree.
Reason being taking a test every Friday doesn't give us much time to really learn our new material.

I agree with what Obama says about the tests. Our brains sometimes need a little rest or at least study more. Sometimes the tests be way out of our league. So yes, I truly understand what Barack Obama is saying.

I agree with President Barack Obama because his statement is true.Taking to many standarized tests are boring and it causes stress for students every time they are taken.Classwork and participation should be enough.

I agree with Obama because it is really useless to give students many tests and students just dont take tests really serious.All we need is more participation and seatwork is enough.

I agree wit Mr Barack Obama about that standarized testing makes school boring. We as students like subjects that are fun we don't like that after every important test we take unnecessary tests that we don't really need. It would be better for us if they start to intergrate more technology into the classroom and into our classwork.

I agree with you because In school we really don't learn anything,but also the testing doesn't really work.Sometimes they let us take a test just to see what we know.Also more projects instead.

I agree with Obama because, he's right all we learning how to do is fill in bubbles. Hands on Projects would be way more afficant and easy to learn with then tests and text books.

I agree with Obama's opinion because students are gretting tired of taking tests for no reason.We need to take less tests so we can have more time for studying.We're not getting enough time to study.In my opinion, we should take less test but learn about more

I agree with president obama because if all we do is take test then we aren't trully learning anything. if all we do day after day is take test, when we get out of school all we will be able to do is get through something without failing. we wont know about math, physics, english, geography, and other subject. i think in order to get a grade in class we need to beable to restate in 150 or more what we learned for that day in that class.

I agree with President Obama, because if all we do is take tests we are not really learning nothing. If we take less tests we will have enough time to study and review over what we really taking the test for.

I agree with Obama because we don't really learn a whole lot just by taking tests but i thinkk group work and projects would be better to learn from.

I agree with Obama because we always take tests, we really don't learn nothing, and I think group work and projects willl help us better.

I agree because, more electronics can make it easier to learn about ALOT of diffrent things.

Hailey said

at 1:56 pm on Apr 4, 2011

i agree and disagree because yes i agree that if you teach in a fun way or a way the kids like they will want to learn because they will be intresting in it, and also we do take alot of test that we shouldnt because we should have more time to learn this stuff before we take the test espicaly if we are learning in a boring way. but i disagree about everyone agree when the test is and what it will be on yes they should but there opinions in it but should say when and what it will be on.
