In the article, “How Much Do You Value Test Score”, Mr. Fisch explains about his thoughts towards a school’s text scores. Some parents look at those scores and their decision is greatly impacted on sending their children to that particular school or not. Most people think that looking at the test scores of different schools symbolizes if that school provides a good education for their child. But what makes a student score high on a test such as CSAP? Is it the teachers? Or is it the techniques the teacher uses to teach students? Agreeing with Mr. Fisch, I personally think that it is up to the student to receive a good education. The students are supposed to be responsible and if they pay attention in class and participate, why does it matter who the teacher is or how they teach the information? The students are capable of doing well and being successful wherever they go.
