What are some reasons students are not passing standardized tests?
How can teachers, administrators, parents, and students work together to ensure students pass their standardized tests?
I think that some students aren't passing standardized tests because they don't have the right study material and they really don't know how important the standardized tests really are. Ithink that the teachers etc. could help by helping thestudents better by sitting down one on one and helping them with the problems that they need help with and if they aren't getting the type of help that they need they could always just take a tutoring class so they would become a better student so the they wouldn't have to worry about failing their standardized tests when they get ready to take the test maybe they will be a little nervous but it is apart of life everyone gets nervous at one point of their life time.Many students are afraid of taking their standardized tests because they really count against your grades and just like they are scared I get scared too.
ReplyDeleteSome reasons the high school students can not pass the standarized test is that the students make such a big deal out of passing to the next grade that they begin to have stress. With that stress comes along distraction,then they fail the test. The teachers and parents can have a talk with them,and tell them don't worry and keep focus. That will probably encourage them to focus.
ReplyDeleteSome reasons that students are not passing
ReplyDeletestandarized tests because they think the ISAT is too easy and they asume PSAE is too hard. Teachers, administrators, parents, and students can work together to ensure students pass their standardized tests by taking study courses after school to ensure they understand the subject so the students can get a higher percentage in the state graph.
i think children are failing these tests because they are too over whelmed when taking tests. Some also have low confidence, because they think if the PSAE is hard that they might not be able to do it. as Kendel said i think the teachers and parents can work to help the test takers. most of all i think the students can help themselves by studying hard, completing the test, and trying
ReplyDeleteThere are many reasons why students aren't passing the standardized tests in high school. They include students thinking the ISAT is too easy and the PSAE is too hard. I partly agree with this because I've taken the ISAT test 3 times before and it is very easy. Another reason why students aren't passing the tests is because the students may not be retaining the information they learned, some may not be learning at all in the first place. Also, students aren't passing standardized tests in high school is because the eight graders aren't coming to high school prepared. The ISAT had dropped the score needed to pass the test so more can pass, so it has become much easier to pass and the students don't have to do as much to pass. Teachers, administrators, parents, and students can work together by having after-school programs and tutoring so the student can really learn what they don't understand. They can also work together by having the teacher re-teach and really zero in on what the majority of students aren't understanding to ensure that they pass the standardized tests.
ReplyDeleteOne reason students are not passing standardized tests is because as Tasmiyah said, “they don't have the right study material and they really don't know how important the standardized tests really are.” They don’t know what standardize testing leads them to. It helps them review everything they learned for the school year and to see if they know it. Teachers and administrators can help students pass their standardized test by having after school tutoring in general and after school tutoring for standardize testing. Also teachers in the classroom should give them practice test that are just like the standardize test to help the student get use to the test. Parents can help the student by just going on the internet and printing out simple worksheets on what the student learned in school or in tutoring to help the student prepare for the test. The student can help their selves by taking time out of his or her day to study the material they learned. These are the reasons students are not passing standardized test and the way teachers, administrators, parents, and students can work together to ensure that students pass their standardized tests.
ReplyDeleteStudents are getting horrible grades on their test because they do not study correctly.Students need to have the write study materials in order to complete or get a good grade on their test.Also students are not focusing hard enough to pass their test, and some students do not study at all and they just do not study for their tests.Students need to study for a longer amount of time until they know the material well enough to actually pass the test.
ReplyDeletei think that some students aren't passing the standrized test is because some student dont want to study and just do what ever they want and not pay attention in class so they guess the answer beacuse they did not study so they do not pass.by matthew evans
ReplyDeleteI think students aren't passing their test because maybe they think they don't need to study. Also they fail because they don't try. Students need to have a study plan. If they don't have this they probably won't do so well on test in general.
ReplyDeleteSome students are not passing because students weren't prepared. They didn't study and expect the test to be easy. The teachers probably give them the same material each week.
ReplyDeleteThey can teach the students new material and see if they studied by quizzing them each week. The school should give them goals so they want to get it right like havig gifts for the hishest grade on the tests.
Some reasons the students are not passing is because their teachers are not preparing the students correctly.Also some students said that
ReplyDeleteone test was easy and one test was hard.Teachers can help the students by making reviewing and learning a fun thing to do so they can past the standardized test.Administrators can help by donating money to create after school programs so the kids can get tutoring.Parents can help by encouraging their children to do their best.They all can work together by cooperating to help the kids do their best.
I think that some students are flunking standardized tests because they don't study, or they forget that the test is coming up and they don't study. Sometimes, there might just be students who are lazy and don't study. The teachers can help by communicating with the students' parent and making sure that the students know whe the test is and that they study for at least an hour.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why students are not passing the standardized tests is because students are not getting prepared. There is a federal law called no child left behind. The administers need to give adequate material to the teachers so they can teach the students and the parents can motivate their kid or teen.
ReplyDeleteI believe that students are not passing their PSAE is because their are many more distractions in the world today rater than 10 years ago. Another reason is that they do not respect school enough to actually prepare themselves for this exam. Since there are ACT test preps there should be test preps for the PSAE. Teachers should also explain the importance of this test to give them the motivation to do well.
ReplyDeleteStudents aren’t passing standardized tests because they aren’t being pushed hard enough. And if the students don’t understand how this will help them, then the teachers aren’t helping them well enough. The teachers aren’t showing the students how the process works. The students could’ve done well if the teachers cared. The students are just doing what the teachers are telling them. The students might even get scared to take the test because they know they’re not ready. The teachers need to help the students comprehend what they are learning. The students need to ask questions so they can help themselves comprehend and not just depend on the teachers.
ReplyDeleteI personally think students are not passing standardized tests is because of technology. Technology has co many things in it that some kids lose their thinking for school. Their brains don't work most of the time they use technology so they don’t think as well in school. This has happened to me before. I kept on playing with this one thing and I kind started to forget the things I learned in school. Teachers, administrators, parents, and students can ensure the students pass the standardized tests by limiting the amount of activity they get for each thing they do every day.
ReplyDeleteI think that students aren’t passing standardized tests because of the lack of preparation. The students don’t take these standardized tests very seriously and they feel that the ISAT is too easy, but the PSAE is too hard. They get distracted by things like technology. The technology keeps them from studying for these tests, which results in them failing the test. Teachers, parents, administrators, and students can work together to ensure that the students pass their standardized tests is by having study session up until the test. The teachers and administrators can give the students practice tests and study in class and also after school. The students and their parents can have study sessions at home every day prior until the test.
ReplyDeleteSome reasons why students aren't passing standardized test are because they don't know what to expect. They spend all of this time in school, but they aren't learning anything about important situations that will help them in the real world. Or court the ISAT and other test in that region are ridiculously easy, but as time does on the the students start to take more challenging tests, they don't know what to do. I agree with Crystal and Louis about technology. Most of the time people spend more than 5 hours watching inappropriate t.v. Shows in which are driving them away from learning or studying for the most part. Teachers, parents, administrators , and students should start caring and take their words into action. We can't just stand here and watch these student fail their classes because they arent caring. Most of the kids out here wish that they can get a good education, but they cant afford it. They need to work hard and improve their educations because all they are doing is wasting their times.
ReplyDeleteI think students are not passing some standard test because they aren’t studying as much as they should be. They should put more effort into being dedicated into learning and being successful in life. Teachers can help by giving private tutoring or getting students who really are at the top of their game to help the students with their problems to make them a better learner in that subject. Parent can help by being more supportive of their child’s learning. They can sign them up for a prep test to see what they need to work on with their child.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why students are not passing is because the students are not ready for the test. According to the article, some schools keep students that are doing bad in school from doing exams. The teachers can help the students pass is by having a pop quizzes and test preps once in awhile. The parents can help the students by quizzing the child on what they learned on that day. The administrators can help the students by instructing after school tutoring for people who have a D in a class. The students can help by studying for tests FOR REAL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the students are not passing because they don’t do their work. This is a different situation if they do their work maybe the test is just too hard of what they are capable for. I think the teachers can’t do much but teach. The parents also can only do so much .The whole thing depends on what the student wants to learn.
ReplyDeleteI think some students aren't passing standardized tests because they don't get the right learning materials from their teachers. The schools should provide some things for the students to remind them and jog their memory of what they learned in the past.They have to pass these kinds of tests because they are important to them and their future of going to coolege. The students who are failing thes stests should be given some feedback.
ReplyDeleteSome reasons that students are not passing standardized tests because maybe the students are not studying. Another reason why students are failing because maybe the teachers make the tests too hard for the students. Teachers can help by making the tests a little easier for the students. Administrators can help by making sure that the tests are easy and challenging enough for the students. Parents can help by making sure the students study enough. Students can help by trying their best at all they can do. They can all work together by putting all of that together.
ReplyDeleteStudents are failing because they aren't encouraged enough. Students don't bother enough to try and study and pass. Teachers should check on their students. Make sure they are in a safe and comfortable learning environment. Cover each topic twice for complete understanding.
ReplyDeleteStudens are failing standardized tests because their teachers aren't teaching them things that are on the test the teachers are just teaching them anything because they're getting paid. I also think that the children aren't helping themselves by just sitting in class doing nothing or sleeping.
ReplyDeleteStudents are failing because there might be no one making them or telling them they need to do the work and they aren't encouraged or motivated to do it. I think teachers should give rewards to the children that are really trying to do their work. Then the students who are failing will see this and they will wan't to work hard so they can get that reward. But the teachers can't get to absorbed in this because if they do thats all what they would be talking about and not teaching heir pupils the curriculum they need to learn. When all the students are succeeding the teachers should gradually stop the rewards and see how much the grades have changed. This would most likely give the student the motivation they need.
ReplyDeleteStudents are failing standardized tests because they are not studying and they are not being encouraged by anyone. I think teachers shouls open up a atudy group to help student more.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't passing because the easy test they are taking aren't getting them ready for harder tests. To get them ready they need tutoring and more efficient lessons.
ReplyDeleteThese students are doing poorly because there is nobody pushing them to strive to sucess. They need parents that get more involved in the school curriculum and make sure they understand everything. If the parents arent actively helping in lower school, the pupil will have no idea how to cope with the increased difficulty. Also, the ISAT test shouldn't be ridiculously easy, and 90% of students should not be able to pass. A high percentage, you may say, is good, but if it's too high, the kids are not being challenged enough. If this test's difficuty is increased, it could also better prepare the pupils for the difficulty of later tests rather than being suprised by a sudden "impossible" test.
ReplyDeleteSome reasons that students are not passing
ReplyDeletestandarized tests because they think that it will be easy and other thing is that they think is easy so they do not study. Also there parent dont get on them.
Students are doing poorly because they don't get enough support.They also need some kind of achievement to encourage the students to do good in school. Another reason is because students are bullying and the person has to deal with the fact and might do poorly.
ReplyDeleteThere not passing because they aren't trying there best.Also there not passing standerized test because the Is-at is to easy and the PSAE is to hard.Ways teachers, administrators, parents, and students work together to ensure students pass their standardized tests get involved see what there not understanding.Talk to the teacher and see what there doing in class.Ask if they need help with there work.
