NJ ASK = A young child's nightmare!

The NJ Ask is given to children from grades 3 - 8 yearly. This means all children in NJ have to suffer a whole week of torture from teachers. Their some good things that come with this and they are like you don't have homework for the whole week allowing your brain to relax and also letting you get some fresh air and play with your friends that you usually don't get to see. I take the NJ Ask as an assessment used to to torture children and make them feel like this will be the worst thing to happen to them through the five years they will take it. This years NJ Ask was really easy, it's questions were more easier to understand and the overall test was really easy. I found that the math section was the easiest because I like math a lot more than English and writing. Different children experience the test different according to what level they are in. Children in level 1 might think the test is easy but children in level 2 might think the test is extremely hard. If the NJ Ask was not around, surely a lot more children would like going to school. For the years I went to school I learned that half the things we learn in school are about how to finish your test or essay before a certain time limit the teacher gives you all preparing you for the NJ Ask. If the NJ Ask hadn't of  been around now, we would have a huge decrease from our average weekly homework. I never had a soft spot for tests and probably never will. As easy as the NJ Ask is, I still dislike it very much. I believe that the NJ Ask is a very big mistake in America's history. It might be part of the "No child left behind program," but if children still fail the Ask then what is the point of spending money to make a test to "Find a child's abilities." We don't need stupid tests to tell the teacher or some test maker what we are capable of learning because as the school year progresses, teachers and students form a bond with each other and by that way, teachers find out what we are capable of and what we exceed in. Children's lives are already hard, we look at many things with disgust and NJ Ask is one of them!
