The Seattle Boycot is something that has been going on on Garfield High School in Seattle. The teachers of the school have unanimously decided not to give anymore standarized tests to the students of their schools, since they believe that they do not really test their knowledge and are unescessary since there are things in there that they havent actually studied.
In my opinion, the boycot makes perfect sense, since we cannot do a test on a topic we have not properly studied. Most of the children in my school take the MAP tests (the standarized exam we take) as a "who can guess the fastest" competition. Then we take the rest of the period as a free time. Althought the test gives us a positive side (comparing us to the learning in the USA) the test can be actually called useless and a waste of time.
