Testing for Children



I think that testing for children should be measured. When you test children it is a good way to see where children stand. Children are human beings just like everybody else but some children need a little more help than others. It is best to test a child so that they can get help before it is too late. Children do not know when they need help so it is up to the caregiver to notice it. I had one child in my class that were very smart but they child was very slow of learning. When the child learned the things it stuck with him. By it taking him so long to catch on that when he finally caught on it was too late. We had moved on to another subject. I requested for him to be tested, they tried many ways to see why the child was so slow about learning. It wasn’t that the child had a problem it was that when the children were in a group with children his mind wondered. He had ADHD. He was easily distracted. They had to put him on some medicine that helped calmed him down to learn. When he was on the medicine he was the smartest child in my class. You knew that difference of the days that he took the medicine and the days that he was not given the medicine. It all worked for the best that is why I would choose testing for children over anything.
