Recent problems with standardized tests are best demonstrated in Atlanta, GA where school administrators allegedly changed student answers on standardized tests in order to bolster scores in areas where the scores were traditionally low.  Some argue that these administrators were pressure to show positive growth by higher scores on achievement tests, while others argue that standardized tests still are not a good measure of student learning.  What problem areas do you see in standardized testing and what needs to change so that a concerned public can easily measure learning by students?
