Texas Kids Should Take The Taks Test
They do because they need to take the test on every thing they've learned from 3rd-11th grade.

The taks test is a waste of time. In middle and high school we have at the end of every semester finals that are costing 25% of our average than we have to take a stupid test! All my teachers prepare me about is the taks test! They are doing there job preparing me for my future but only like .001 of it! Cuz yeah in the future i will take the taks and then once i am done i am done when you are older and an adult you won't take it again! Alll my math teacher talks about is "this will be on the taks test so i will teach it to you. That is an example of a 'Taks problem!'" Taks this taks that its like all they ever care about is just teaching us the test! She's supposed to teach me math not math that will only be on test. Same with all my other teachers. They aren't doing their job teaching me for my future they are teaching me for a test!

So that is why TAKS should go

I agree most kids think differently than other students and are being forced to fall into a regular pattern of learning like I mentioned in a debate related to this one 'humans or drones. What does Bush want?

No, because as long as the TAKS test exists teachers will only teach mostly what will be on the test and not mostly out of creativity, therefore making kids lose their creativity.
