I have administered and graded tests in both Mathematics and Language Arts. I believe that currently in Nova Scotia we don’t have the type of high-stakes testing they have in the USA and other parts of the world. Our students do not need to achieve a certain level of achievement on the standardized tests they take in order to grade and teachers are not fired or have their salaries docked when students fail to achieve the benchmarks. Still, the provincial tests our students write do have a degree

children to handle. Standardized tests should not be given and people should be more aware of the children who can't move on to the next grade from failing it. This is a very big problem, and it is so stressful to have kids take a test on something that cannot define who a they are as an individual. STAAR Testing is one of the many names of these standardized tests (TAKS, TABS, TAAS.) Each time a different one is given, it gets much harder.

whether standardized tests should be restricted or expanded. It is wrong to judge a student based on one end of the year test, when they have so much more to show throughout their school year. It is almost as these standardized tests make teachers teach their students differently by making them teach to what is going to be on the test rather than the normal curriculum.

Proctoring is the act of supervising the students to keep them from cheating while they are taking tests. When a school proctoring the exams, the school graduate great professionals. In my opinion, cheating on exams is the biggest mistake a student makes. What's the point to have good grades without knowing what you are going to use professionally? The University of People requires proctored in some exams because proctoring the students maintain the university integrity, making sure the students
