I too have kept a journal for a long time and it’s helped me immensely. I feel like it’s not only good catharsis, but it really helps you watch yourself evolve. It’s really fascinating for me to go back, read old journal entries, and think about how I’ve changed since then (and whether or not it’s for the better)<br /> Ruksana Kabealohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12924813905590090434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971318889103399214.post-10228000334952022152015-09-08T18:58:15.690-07:002015-09-08T18:58:15.690-07:00I agree with your statement completely about stand...I agree with your statement completely about standardized testing. I feel as now teachers focus on the test too much and they do not feel like they have time to teach the students other important teachings that they want to share. I think that standardized testing is important but, the subjects that the test gives should be much more broad and not so regimented. The tests should encourage students to give their own creative answers.Natalee Christmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488360885984918798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971318889103399214.post-24609122233318690022015-09-08T10:49:31.224-07:002015-09-08T10:49:31.224-07:00I agree that standardized testing is a problem. So...I agree that standardized testing is a problem. Some students, no matter how smart they are, struggle with test taking. I have seen many people who I know are intelligent get low scores on the ACT or SAT simply because they are not good test takers.

I believe that these tests cause students to not comprehend what they are being taught. This is because they are only learning it to get a good grade on that test but once its over they forget everything they learned.
