School House Rock

Classroom modifications are of great importance in schools. Years ago, people with ADHD and other problems went noticed to a certain extent. Students with disabilities need accommodations to be able to reach their full potential. These accommodations include extra time for tests, double review of exercises, aids, study guides, taped lectures, and the list goes on.
I think the school system focuses too much on standardized testing. Focus needs to be put more on things that get us out of the classroom. Writing notes and taking a test over and over is not what will make us remember things. The school system is cheating kids of reaching their full potential. Your smarts should not be based on one test that's worth 20% of your grade at the end of the year. In the long run what does any of that do for students?
