It is said that standardized testing harms children. The tests upset pupils and make them fear. If a pupil gets a low score he will be seriously damaged. Standardized testing is not agreeable to the regular educational orders designed to support the child.
There is, no doubt, anecdotal(轶事)evidence to support some of these views. However, common sense suggests that the majority of pupils are not harmed by testing, and as far as I know there is no real data that would not support common sense on this matter. The teachers I talk with seem much more often, to be concerned with pupils who don't care enough how well or how poorly they do on such tests, than with the relatively rare facts of pupils who care too much.
It is normal to be somewhat anxious when facing my real tests. But it is also necessary part of growing up to learn to deal with the tests that life certainly brings. Of the many challenges to a child's peace of mind, caused by such things as angry parents, bad dogs and shots from the doctor, standardized tests must surely be among the least fearsome. Unwise parental pressure can in some cases raise anxiety to harmful levels. A pupil who regularly get slow scores on tests of what that pupil has tried hard to learn is indeed likely to become discouraged. If this does happen, the school cannot declare to be offering a good educational program, and the teacher cannot declare to be doing a good job of teaching. Most low scores on tests, however, go to pupils who, for one reason or another, have not tried very hard to learn. In the opinion of the teachers of such pupils, it is the trying rather than the testing that is most in need of correction.
