The Map tests boycott on
Garfield High school shows that for the fisrt time parentes, students and
teachers entered into a agreement and
this bound ibetwen then its good to create a better future education.
The Garfield High School
students are correct about the Boycott because i think in the 21st century we
should be aware that the map tests are not the best way to evaluate the ability
of an student in every school, because with so much technology that we have
today and many tools we can use for example ePortfolios, that shows all your
improvement along your school years and your ideas and conceptions that you
have about the entire world, the midia apresentation that could show your
compreention about the subject that you are studying and this tools are more
interesting than the older way of studying.
However the possibility of
benchmark (the process of comparing one's business processes and performance
metrics to industry bests or best practices from other industries) its
necessary for the development of the student. He needs this possibility for
auto-evaluation, because the knowledge of weak spots and strengths is the real
key for real improvement. So maybe the real way to achieve the optimal future
for all of us is creating a new way of checking our stats being not a
obligation, but a tool for us to use during the school days showing every day what
we need to study more and what we are good; ending with a optimal score and a
knowledge of what we will possible like to do on the future.
