Should standardised testing be abolished
Position‹2 of 2

No, standardized testing should not be abolished

Those who hold this position argue that standardised testing should not be abolished: that a common measure is what lets an outsider be recognised, that the alternatives rely on judgements favouring the well-connected, and that the problems lie in how scores are used.

  1. A common measure is what lets an outsider be recognised at all
  2. The objections are to how scores are used, which can be changed without abolition
