How Much Do You Value Test Scores?

A very interesting topic sometimes mention in school matter thoughts between your parents and your teachers. It's a subject in which I think of my own test scores and my school. But the article How Much Do You Value Test Scores? by Karl Fisch; resource The Fischbowl it talks about how you wonder what kind of education you or any other student has and is it always the best. Coming from your very own teacher. Simply it does make you think about would your parents choose this school or any other school for that matter just because of the test scores it pulls every year from students such as us? Or would your parents want a good old school that just makes you up in every way? In such a matter it connects to a everyday school or classroom. Mostly concerning the students more or less. In that way it seems as if the students should be making the decision about where they would want to go to school. But before I get ahead of my shelf we still have parents who makes choices like that for us but we are entitled to our opinion. "Are we not?" I still think that a school should be made up of young adults that are simply there for one reason to learn and to be themselfs. In a environment that doesn't judge and keeps an effort to do all that they can to help a student out. In this case Mr. Fisch made a wise choice that a lot of people would agree on such as myself. He gave the opportunity to his young daughter in which test scores didn’t even matter.
