What knowledge is important, why want knowledge, and who chooses what goes in eighth grade books.
Do CST's scores affect your self-esteem?
I chose this question because I know in experience that I get affected.

People thought that the brain was a radiator that cooled the blood but then they figured out that the brain was the organ that controlled thought.
Galton believed that smartness run through family genes; Scientist tried to prove that smartness is based on year head size; Binet was the guy that began to look at psychology methods to identify your smartness level and he made a test that is now evolved into the IQ test; In this case a stereotype threat is how a whole race as a whole is seen as being not smart; Today's smartness is mainly based on test they always look toward test to identify you in education.

I made a research study based on my question Do CST's affect your self-esteem?
I made my research by making a survey and giving them to 7th graders.
My results ended up being:
32% get affected by their grade 60% didn't affect them and only 8% didn't care

5. Xipe Totek - Transformation
It helped me notice that kids do care about their grades because 54% believe that CST'S are still worth taking them. And out of all of them only 8 % didn't care.
