Every parent wish to choose a good school with highly qualified educating. While assessing schools' competency, one of the criteria that parents often rely on is test score. However, are test scores exactly indicative of a school's qualification? In my viewpoint, we should not take test scores as the decisive factor of schools' competency.

Some people suppose that a good school means good academics, and a schools with good test scores will be more competent. While the quality of students and teachers varies between schools, year-to-year assessments can give a fairly accurate representation of how well a school is performing. Nevertheless, this opinion is not true for all cases because of the two reason below.

Primarily, test scores may be inaccurate due to ineffective examining methods. To check students' knowledge, schools often resort to oral tests and writing tests. It is a fact that many children might be knowledgeable, but struggle during tests. Besides, students may chest in the exams or bribe to gain good marks. For these points, the reliability of test scores is not really high.

Secondly, test scores offer little information about a school. In many schools, teachers only focus on tests, teaching their students how to do well with tests and gain good marks by giving them some tips, and students often learn in a passive way, which is of no use for their future. Besides, in many schools, students make every effort to learn their majors, and ignore other subject, sport or socializing activities and personal hobbies. They are quite bookish; therefore, they can find it hard to come to the world later. Therefore, test scores are not precisely indicative of schools' competency.

All in all, parents should not pick up test scores as the criterion of a school's competency. Moreover, apart form looking at the studying and educating quality of a school, parents need to assess other factors, so that they can find a favorable environment for their children's development.

Recently, cases of suicide have reached its peak at 39,518 suicides reported. This alarming figure is extremely startling. Many of these cases are resulted in by bullying between girls. Some people claim that girls are becoming meaner and meaner to each other; nevertheless, some others do not agree with this opinion. From my viewpoint, I agree with the former for the two reasons below.

Firstly, this characteristic is somehow the female primal instinct.
While men like to display their bravado by openly challenging there victims, women tend to bully their enemies. Besides, the victims of women's bully commonly have the same gender because women are easier targets than men and it is easier to deal with women's reaction. That is why girls seem much meaner to each other than to boys.

More seriously, schools and parents often focus on boys' violence only and underestimate girls' tease. Therefore, girls' bully is paid little or no attention; therefore, it is often out of control. Only when it had already caused severe and apparent damage that people could realize its danger. For these reasons, girls being mean to each other is likely not to be discovered and prevented in time; therefore, it becomes much more serious than what we can imagine.

The opposite side to this opinion may argue that all girls are completely mean to each other. I am with them on that. We can not tar all girls with the same brush. However, in comparison with boys. girls seem to be meaner to some extent. In general, this opinion is right, but not for all cases. To assess a girl particularly, we need to interact with her and score her basing on various criteria.

In conclusion, girls today are much meaner to each other. To cope with this problem, I think parents and schools have to make more effort to look after not only violent boys, but also female bullies and bully's victims.
