My topic
Every elementary schools should not give lessons with ability grouping.
What I hope to learn from this source
I want to figure out the meaning of '일제고사 (standardized test)' in Korea and what do Korean people think about it.
Notes
1. Seven primary and middle school teachers in the South Korean capital Seoul have been fired for giving students and parents a choice about whether to take a national standardised test.
2. “Across the OECD countries, teachers are becoming increasingly concerned about the uses and abuses of standardized testing and its vastly increased stress on students and teachers,” said EI General Secretary Fred Van Leeuwen.
3. The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education dismissed the seven teachers, alleging they had not “followed orders” and had “induced” students not to take a national test, thereby “interrupting” the students’ “right to learn.
4. this kind of standardized testing might “raise unnecessary competition among students” and give children “a heavy, stressful burden.”
5. The South Korean education system is highly competitive, with government policy compelling all elementary and middle school students across the country to sit the standardized tests.

Final thoughts
This research can support my narration. It can show about the fact of Korean education, and there is compelling standardized test called 일제고사 and if teachers or students reject it, they will be punished.
