This article discusses a new test that most middle schoolers are failing. In the article, it is stated that, ".. huge numbers of middle school students are failing rigorous new tests designed to prepare them for the next level. Fifth and six graders are taking the test and around forty percent of sixth graders and over seventy percent of fifth graders are failing in language arts. It is stated that all this started when "Corzine announced an ambitious agenda last year for making the state's high schools more rigorous.." It is also stated that New Jersey changed the rules in the middle and got lower scores, while, there was progress in the classrooms. My opinion on this is that if the test is not preparing the students for high school any more than previous tests they should not continue using it.
