To say that the schools should all have a set standard to what they teach at certain grade levels is a good idea to keep everyone on track but it soen't work with some schools. The truth every school teaches differentl so not all students will recieve the same amount of information as the other students in other schools. Some of the most ridiculous questions get asked on standardized tests that students do bad on them not on a lack of being stupid or dumb but they werent' taught what the test is about. Like shoes, not one size fits all meaning that standardized tests might not be the best way of testing the students abilities.
