    In the editorial, "The Case Against Standardized Testing," Sonia Munevar addresses the topic of standardized testing in education. She argues that standardized testing narrows curriculum and teaching. Her main argument is that standardized tests discourage creative thinking and limit what is taught in the classroom. She provides examples of how standardized tests have reduced time spent on art, music, and recess. Ultimately, what Munevar is trying to convey through her editorial is that standardized testing has negative consequences on student learning.
