excerpt from Away with Standardized Testing!
Sure, supporters of this dream-killing, money-sucking machine believe that standardized tests push educators to cover more content and skills and that stricter, more-aligned standardized tests ensure students are college-ready. But do these supporters stop to think about the emotional impact of standardized testing on student engagement and motivation? When students perform poorly test after test after test, not being able to gain acceptance into a college of their dreams or graduate from high school or rank highly, they are more inclined to consider dropping out of school and not pursuing college, and are more likely to tragically suffer from low self-esteem.

A: dream-killing, money-sucking machine
B: standardized tests push educators to cover more content and skills
C: supporters stop to think about the emotional impact of standardized testing
D: tragically suffer from low self-esteem

“Dream-killing, money-sucking machine”: This phrase uses strong negative language to describe standardized testing. The author’s bias is evident here because they are portraying standardized testing in an extremely negative light.

“Supporters stop to think about the emotional impact of standardized testing”: The use of the word “stop” implies that supporters of standardized testing are not adequately considering the emotional impact it has on students. This suggests a negative view of those who advocate for standardized testing.
