My personal experience with Standardized Testing wasn't the most ideal. I didn't feel inclined to get a good score on a test because a mere paper didn't make up who I am. There were also several other reasons. The grading system my city had was based on a few important tests instead of the majority of your tests. For example, if you score high in the SAT(Scholastic Assessment Test), your four year GPA wasn't viewed as more important. Thus, you can minimally pass your four years in high school but get a good SAT school and conditionally get into various universities. This ultimately discouraged me as a student and my viewpoints on our school systems. However, not only am I affected by this but, thousands of other student feel the same way. If the saying, a good college leads to a better job, therefore a better life, isn't it unreasonable to judge a tennager based on one soul test score.

Research Proposal
As a past student enrolled in a public school, I felt entitled to meet the required acceptance of my teachers but ultimately the grading rubric of school testings. Not only does state testing determine our future college but the feedback we get from our friends and family. Therefore, we have to ask ourselves what are the Pros and Cons of Standardized Testing. I believe evaluating the positives and negatives of Standardized Testing is a hard topic to approach. There are many good and bad outcomes resulting from set standards but one can argue that the removal of set standards can hinder a students learning.

I really like the proposal, however it seems a little bit out of order. I think you should introduce your topic as you do in the first couple of sentences, then, bring in the second paragraph, and end with the inquiry question and working thesis. Then, once you find 3-5 sources, you will preview who says what (who is pro and who is con) about standardized testing and how that helps inform your 'working thesis.'
