模仿Florida州9岁小萝莉批评应试教育FSA

　最近，美国佛罗里达州一个9岁小女孩Sydney Smoot，因为反对佛罗里达州标准化考试(Florida Standards Assessments, 简称FSA)而在当地的教育委员会成员面前发表了一个酷炫的演讲，逻辑清晰且极富感染力。当她讲完的时候，台下的大人都纷纷为她鼓掌…… 　　FSA考试是当地的一种标准化考试，以学期末的一次考试“一招定胜负”。尽管其初衷是希望学校能够为学生的教育真正负起责任，但这种应试教育的考核方式也招致很多争议。因为小女孩的语速超快，让小P主播忍不住也模仿一把，虽然还赶不上小女孩的母语那么自然，但小主播的语速真是已经飞起来了~~ 原文如下： 　Hello, fellow members of the school board. Today I will express my concerns about the FSA testing. I consider myself a well-educated young lady. However, with FSA tests, my 5 years of school all on honor roll do not matter. 　　This testing looks at me as a number. One test defines me as either a failure or a success through a numbered rubric. One test at the end of the year that the teacher or myself will not even see the grade until after the school year is already over. I do not feel that all this FSA testing is accurate to tell how successful I am. It doesn't take in account all of my knowledge and abilities, just a small percentage. 　　Here are my concerns. First of all, I do not feel good about a form in the FSA that you have to sign ensuring that you can’t even discuss the test with your parents. I am not comfortable signing something like this. I have the right to talk to my parents about any and everything related to school and my education. 　　Second, why am I being forced to take a test that hasn’t even been tested on students here in Florida, so how can it be valid and accurate on what I know? Why are we taking up most of the year stressing and prepping for one test at the end of the year when we should be taking tests throughout the year that really measure our abilities? My opinion is that we should take a test at the beginning of the year, middle, and at the end of the school year to accurately measure what we know. 　　Third, the stress and pressure that this testing puts on me and I'm sure most students is not healthy. Why should we have so much stress about one test when we should be learning and having fun in school? With all of this testing in school, more fun things in school such as recess are being eliminated because of all of the training for the tests. 　　So ladies and gentlemen of the school board, I urge you to put a stop to high stakes testing today. It is not good for the schools, teachers, and students. Parents and students, contact your governor to put a stop to all this standardized testing. Thank you very much for your time."
