Should isasp test be issued at schools?
ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) was developed in 1935 and has been given to 3-11 grade students in the category of mathematics, reading, and biology. ISASP was developed to meet the requirements federal every student Success Act (ESSA). Witch is a U.S law passed in December 2015 to hold students accountable for how students learn and achieve.
ISASP is a state standardized test that mostly everybody took here recently and most people did not like taking it. I have heard teachers say that they don't like giving the ISASP test. I personally don't like ISASP testing and think that it should not be given at school. Some people might argue this and say isasp is good and that it is a way for teachers to see what you know and what you don't. People might also say that it is good because if people score high the school gets more state funding. I completely agree but I feel that our knowledge can be tested besides something other than a large state standardized test.
ISASP is a test that a lot of people get stressed over, including teachers and other school staff. Isasp gets teachers stressed because they have to initiate a full online test and technology doesn't always work the best. Teachers also have to make sure that there are no posters, pictures, or lettering on the walls that could help any student in any way. Isasp also stresses out students because there are 3-5 important tests that are in a week and if they don't score proficient then they lose more privileges when they get further on in high school. Isasp also stresses out other school staff like computer techs because during the testing a lot of things can go wrong with the computer or the app that ISASP is on.

Questions:
Do you think that ISASP should be administered?
What are some other ways the state can test our knowledge?
Do you think open campus should be based on ISASP?

I agree to be a good test-taker is a major part of ISASP and can really affect your score but that does not mean your not smart
I don't think that the ISASPS are the best way to test a student's progress. It stresses most kids out and some students don't do well under pressure. I understand why they are given out, but I think that there are much better ways to test how well a student is doing in a subject.
I agree and knowledge differs between different schools because different teachers teach different things so ISASP is not a good way to test knowledge because it is to broad.
I don't think that ISASPs are a good way to really find out what students know. The material on there is too broad compared to what is actually taught school-to-school. I also don't think open campus should be based on that, because some students are actually smart and work hard they're just not good test takers. And 80% of the information tested on the bio test is stuff we've never learned.
I agree it is hard to know on the test what we have been taught vs what we dont know
I think that Iowa Assesments should not be something that is necessary because not every school learns the exact same things. I also think we shouldn't take them because a lot of students get very stressed and sometimes do worse with taking test. So overall no we shouldn't take ISAP's.
I agree it also takes a week out of school time that we could be learning something for those subjects that we have tests
I do not think that ISASP's should be administered. Some kids just are not good test-takers. Each school teaches different things, so schools won't be ranked fairly at all. The biology test was all over stuff we had never learned before, but some other schools had prolly learned.
I agree semester tests would be a better way to test our knowledge instead of ISASP
I do not think that the ISASP should be administrated because that is not a good way to test our knowledge. For the english writing assesment, it is difficult to write a good essay in one hour. And the biolofy test is over nothing that we covered in class.
