Hey all.

This Saturday i have a debate club competition with other schools, and the resolution for this competition is

"BIRT Ontario should institute compulsory, standardized tests for all
subjects in Grade 12"
(Be it resolved that, BIRT)

I love debate but this is my first time on this club, so i wanted to get some oppinions, perspectives and views from people here.

The topic is Standardized testing for Grade 12's before the graduates puruse to University/College. I am from Ontaro, canada, and there is no standardized testing here.

However, i believe that they have them in america, so i wanted to get youir point's of view on it, and why.

My team was chosen to support Pro. Our main ideas are..

1. It filters out the exceptional students over others

2. Fair oppurtunity for those to enter universities/college, since there is a lot of discrepancy between highschools, hence, a standard needs to be set. an 80% average (without standardized testing) at xyz school can be the same as a 70% in abc school.

We need more, and we need lots of points of view. Thanks, it is VERY appreciated.
