Issue 9

I dont believe that schools should be only judged on the scores they recieve. Students learn in many different ways, some are better writers than others and those that are good writers may not be great in math or viceaversa. Students are only tested in certain areas and all are tested on the same thing. Some students are good with mutiple choice others are good with word problems. The credibilty of a school should not be measured only on the scores. If this is the case then a test that measures all the ablilties and different learning styles should be administered. Then again this will probably never happen so we must deal with what we have for now.
