Standardized testing can be found in many states across the country. These tests are supposed to judge how well the teacher has taught that year. Teachers tend to teach mainly the information on the tests and try and make sure that the grades meet the expectations of the state. These expectations involove a curve with the same amount of students getting very high grades, as students getting very low grades. In that case the state is aiming for some students to ultimately do bad or fail the exam. Aren't teachers and the state supposed to want to produce all individuals intelligence at a high level and not expect some to fail. This seems to be a major flaw with the current education system.
