Support:
The source is mainly concerned about standardized testing. She discusses her take on it, and how she started taking tests as young as second grade. She mentions President Bush and President Obama in the interview.
Audience and Agenda:
N/A
Usefulness:
Overall, this was not as useful as my discussions with the teachers. While she had some set opinions on the standardized tests that were decent, she did not have an opinon on a better solution. She does mention that she had difficulties taking the test because the reading would tire her eyes, or she wouldn’t finish in time. She agrees that many changes have to be made, because she knows many intelligent students that fare poorly on these tests, yet some that aren’t so intelligent that know how to get higher scores.
