School Reform: Focusing on College Prep is Key

Having just a high school diploma nowadays is not going to get our students a great job anymore.  Therefore, we need to be focusing on preparing them for college and university courses as much as possible.  Standardized tests are not the best assessment methods, but they are necessary.  Many college courses rely heavily on tests.  Students need practice in the testing area as well as developing study habits that will help them succeed.  Schools should be gearing their programs toward these goals.
