I am concerned about the potential lack of innovation and imagination in the youth. I am concerned that it could hinder a child's own self identity and standardized testing could not properly evaluate personal thoughts. There is more than one way to figure out most problems in life and by providing a particular way of completing a task it could discourage problem solving tactics. Also, the set importance of the test and the risk of losing one's job could cause the teachers to focus on the test and loose their own creative teaching process.
