Taking Test Is Bull

I go to a private school in Denver, for one reason being the more attention that private schools give each student. Also the lack of giant classrooms and uncaring teachers to individual problems. But another reason for my choose for a private school was that unlike public schools standardise testing didn't exist. Of course I was wrong like usual, we had to take six tests in one day with almost no breaks. I may sound like I'm complaining too much just for some little tests, but for public schools a unnecessary three required tests occur throughout the school year. So if you are in public school and want to get a break from the standardise testing don't come to private schools. The test that I take is Called The ERB, I have tried to contact the President of the ERB Dr. David Clune to tell him my thoughts about this terrible testing system. Not only do these kinds of tests make a cloud of stress over the students but for teachers as well. I can't see why the school officials can't just give school work that students have done to the education association. I am out to find out what really goes on behind the tests. Again not only private schools or for the Colorado education assocsiation but for the whole United States. I know from being in public schools and private schools no good comes from standardised testing. Many parents across the country don't agree with standardised testing so at least let the parents decide whether there child should have to go through that terrible experience. I do agree with ACT's and SAT's because those really help you decide your future but testing in elementary school and middle school is pointless. Even in the beginning of high school. I hope you agree with me and if you do please comment and if you don't comment as well. Thank you
