Abstract
In today's educational system, standardized testing under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) is a main part of how the nation assesses our children's performance in school. This form of testing which is mandated under NCLB gives an inaccurate assessment of how well a child is learning classroom material. There are many alternatives that would not only help to accurately assess a student's performance, but would also help to reform our current educational system to be more efficient and productive in educating today's youth. These alternatives can be put in place in conjunction with the standardized testing under NCLB and therefore would not jeopardize the President's law. If this proposal is implemented the benefit our educational system would receive would be immeasurable as it would influence future generations by improving their education. Though there are many criticisms of standardized testing that will be explored presently, it is a way to easily assess a nation's overall educational performance even while it is inadequate for assessing on an individual basis.
