I was wondering what everyone's opinion was on these? In Louisiana, we have to take the LEAP test to pass from 8th grade to highschool. It doesn't matter what your final grades are, if you fail the Math and or English, you fail for the year or have to go to summer school. I missed my math by 5 stupid points and now i have to take a month of summer school, on Monday and Wednesday Math is not my strong point, but I did pass the class with a final grade of a C and a B for the final six weeks. Anyway are your thoughts on standardized tests?
