        "students who were quiet and sat still got gold stars that they could turn in at the end of the week to get prizes" (Bee 00:36)
        
        "School it seems had gotten in the way of her education" (Bee 03:20)
        
        Following the life of a kid named Maria and how she usued to come to school asking asking questions then as she learned that silence and good grades were valued over it, she lost her desire to learn.
        
        By prioritizing silence and siting still, students will loose their independence and personality, and students who have trouble sitting sill will suffer and feel ostracized.
        
        "When we are extrinsically motivated about a task, We don't actually care about that task"(Bee 20:52)
        
        extrinsic motivation only provides motivation to reach the target and doesn't provide motivation to actually care about the process that gets you there

        "There are simply too many standards and too many bodies of knowledge vying for the limited space available on large scale tests and in teachers' crowded lesson plans" (78)
        
        "The most serious consideration in the generation and use of a high-stakes testing program is whether the tests being employed actually help or hinder the quality of the education children receive"(15)
        
        It is improtant to look to see how tests are effecting students and teachers well being and if they are actually testing important information.
        
        "Because today’s educators are under such intense pressure to raise their students’ scores on high-stakes tests, we are witnessing a nationwide diminishment of curricular attention toward any subject that isn’t included on a high-stakes test "(19)
        
        If the subject r information isn't included in the SAT then teachers will skip over it
        
        classrooms prioritize the SAT
        
        it is impossible for a student to learn everything that the SAT is testing for and it makes learning that information difficult.
        
        Many teachers will develop their lesson plans around the SAT instead of teaching respectable information pertaining to the class

        "the test strengthens your college application nearly everywhere" (Nair)
        
        "The SAT is all about the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in college and career. Preparing for the SAT sharpens important skills at the heart of education" (Nair)
        
        The information on the SAT is applicable for everyday college life and shows what level you are at for certain programs
        
        "You can decide later whether or not to submit your scores with your application" (Nair)
        
        bacause of COVID-19, test scores have become more lax and some school have the option not to submit testing scores
        
        Having good test scores grants you access into top universities

        "Generally, our education system further disadvantages students who are already disadvantaged, leading to huge gaps in the kind of knowledge that the SAT assumes test-takers possess"(Wexler, N)
        
        "But this isn’t an argument against the SAT. Rather, it’s an argument for understanding what the SAT measures—and the fact these “skills” can’t be taught directly, in the abstract. They can only grow alongside knowledge"(Wexler, N)
        
        Points out the fact the when schools teach lessons based off of standardized testing, they are missing out on actual lessons. This quote points out that the skills needed on the SAT are skills learned in the classroom and are learned alone with normal lesson plans
        
        "The SAT tends to reward speed as well as general knowledge" (Wexler, N)
        
        This quote pretty much explains its self. SAT is meant for people who can handle fast pace testing and who have a good general cultural knowledge which foreign student may not have.
        
        if schools do not have the proper funding to teach students about and prepare for the SAT, they will not do well and will perpetuate the cycle

        "Your GPA is the most important part of your application, but a school will only consider your high GPA impressive if you took the hardest classes (AP or IB) offered at your school" (Seigel, D)
        
        "Universities care about SAT scores because they see them as an equalizer. Every student in the country received a different high school education. Even students at the same school took different classes or had different teachers" (Seigel, D)
        
        Every student takes the SAT and is a good way to measure students who didn't have the opportunity to take AP or similar classes in high school
        
        "If you did take a very challenging course load throughout high school (packed AP or IB classes, if available at your school) and you still have a very high GPA, the admissions officer will know and may be willing to look past your SAT score. However, you will have a better chance of being accepted if you can get your SAT score up to match your high GPA" (Seigel, D)
        
        In the end. Colleges look at both GPA and SAT scores to measure their academic success in high school
        
        GPA considers a students work in high school and the level of classes they took

        "Some colleges and educational organizations award scholarship money to students based in part on SAT scores" (BigFuture College Board)
        
        scholarships can help students pay for college and it also gets the students name out there for colleges.
        
        "The SAT is all about the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in college and career. Preparing for the SAT sharpens important skills at the heart of education" (BigFuture College Board)
        
        The skills needed for the SAT translate to college success
        
        good SAT score can get you into good colleges and universities
      - Why SAT is beneficial
- - - - The Great Schools Partnership promotes equity in all school systems and helps set guidelines for schools regarding grading and guidelines
        
        "The grading system measures, reports, and documents academic progress and achievement separately from work habits, character traits, and behaviors, so that educators, counselors, advisors, and support specialists can accurately determine the difference between learning needs and behavioral or work-habit needs" (Great Schools Partnership)
        
        "The grading system ensures consistency and fairness in the assessment of learning" (Great Schools Partnership)
        
        All testing is fair to students
        
        "The primary purpose of the grading system is to clearly, accurately, consistently, and fairly communicate learning progress and achievement to students, families, postsecondary institutions, and prospective employers" (Great Schools Partnership)
        
        it is a good way to measure everyone on where they stand regarding their education
        
        It helps students learn how to basically learn and how to get everything out of education that they can
