 * Title:** Make the National Test Because Education is What’s Best

Parker Blunt-Pennsylvania-Moderate Justin Rosselot-Oklahoma-Moderate Conservative


 * Purpose**: Our purpose of this bill is to establish a national standardized test for every subject grades K-8. We want to make sure the students are learning the national requirements. We hope to accomplish an above average grade throughout the U.S.A. We plan to have a pretest halfway throughout the year. If you fail this pretest, you have to put in extra work with the teacher with weekly tests and Study Islands, and or Compass Learning. We will cut all state standardized testing so we can make a national test. First, we will have to cut the state tests. Second, we will have to get this bill passed. Third, we will use all of the facilities in the U.S. now for state standardized testing for our new national test. Lastly, we will put this in every school district in America.


 * Eligibility**: A positive benefit is that people will get new jobs. The people on the unemployment line will get good jobs and will be able to pay for their families. Also, the kids will get a good positive benefit because they will learn what they need to know for the national test, also based on what they score they will be placed in a percentile and that can lead them to future jobs. These people grading these states will have to have graduated college in order to work at the facilities to grade these tests. These cannot be people who do not know what they are doing because these tests are weighed heavily on the students and their future. This bill is mostly designed for the students to get a better education, and for the teachers to teach the new curriculum in order for the students to achieve.


 * Terms and Benefits**: To work at our facility to grade tests, you must have graduated from college with a bachelors degree in education. When grading the national tests, all extended responses will have a rubric so, each test will be graded the exact same way so we know how well each student can perform. Then each multiple choice will be graded with a scantron sheet and machine. When teaching in school, the teachers must follow the curriculum do their students can succeed. Each student that has taken the test will be receiving a packet of how well they did on each test, when their tests are done being graded and what category they are placed in based on their scores. The benefit is that we are improving the younger generation of students grades.


 * Fiscal Impact :** We willl have 200 employees that will be paid $17 an hour. These employees will be grading the national test that the students will take in their school year. There shifts will be from 6 A.M. to 5 P.M. 5 days a week until all tests are graded. We will also be spending $500,000 for marketing. We will put commercials on national television that will inform people on what is happening with our tests and the new curriculum that the teachers will be teaching our students. We will not be having to build new facilities for our employees because we will use the ones in the states that were used for the state tests. This will save us lots of money that can help us in many different ways towards the rest of our bill.
