The lecture and reading are both about the impact of standardized test in schools to measure their efficiency. The author of the passage believes that this sort of test enables student to become more efficient and help them to provide promotion without any discrimination. However, the lecturer casts doubt on the claims by in the article by stating that standardized test is a good source of progress and will not help them to provide the best education possible.
Firstly, the author points out that a standard test will provide a set of strong standards for the all school to follow. She also states that this will enable to state a minimum score to pass. This is challenged by the lecturer where she claims that teachers are not given the freedom to choose how to teach students. She also argues that this method does not take into account the difference in tn-he learning pattern of different students which will soon disrupt the learning style.
Secondly, the author contends that schools be more emphasized rather than the students in the success. Likewise, the author asserts that the quality of the schools can be compared and this funding can be allocated to the needy. This is contradicted by the lecturer. He contends that the under performed ones would be punished and funding thus will not be given the poor performers instead the good ones attain it.
Thirdly the author suggests that students who pass the test is given promotion and those who fails are not promoted. Furthermore, assistance is provided to those who perform poorly and thus offer help in their studies. This statement is rebutted by the lecturer. She elaborates this by explaining even the best performers will fall during their pressure period . In addition to that she states that standardized test cannot be an efficient tool to determine this factor.
