One of the co-creators of the poster and account anonymously said, “The poster and the account are not meant to make a massive change all at once. I believe there needs to be some accountability for all teachers, but having one test measure students’ learning and how effective a teacher is seems unfair to all involved” The account also interacted with some students, who expressed their support or even resentment to the point the account was trying to make. What the creators deemed as a “social experiment” attracted even more attention that night when many Tyrone students were followed on Twitter by the account account tweeted pictures of the posters hung around the school, and also some tweets telling students to not stress about the test. The posters were noticed throughout the school by both students and teachers. The posters also state what standardized tests do measure: “How well a student can take a test despite dozens of variables that have nothing to do with intelligence.”Īt the bottom of the poster, stated in bold, underlined print, was the phrase: In bold, underlined print the posters are titled “What Standardized Tests Do Not Measure.” They then list common traits that standardized tests don’t measure, such as compassion and kindness. Standardized tests go against what education is supposed to be”
