Standardized testing is unfair and a waste of money . The first argument is that standardized tests are not fair, and they are a struggle for everyone, especially young children today. And it causes us to take more mental health days than ever. On a regular test, all students answer precisely the same questions. These answers are always provided in multiple-choice forms of foundation, and each question has only one answer that's correct. The tests reward students who are ready for the test and by answering quickly and to answer questions that don't demand much more thinking. The tests don't assess the flexibility to think creatively. The tests don't assess the flexibility of the student schedules. These tests are also written in a manner that assumes all students know the material and are exposed to many personal questions that make people uncomfortable. Plus, it shows some of their backgrounds . ‘For decades, critics have complained that several standardized tests are useless and unnecessary because the questions require a collection of important data and also should show their skills likely to be processed as a rich kid from a wealthy and privileged background’ from  Kohn.

I'm pretty sure this is for math, but is your thesis an opnion or a central idea? What are the requirements?

I know this is a lot, but this website has some info on creating a thesis. Usually a thesis is a brief statement that describes your whole paragraph.

 

Hope it helps!

 

I'm assuming that this is some sort of argumentative essay where you need text evidence to support your claims.

 

Your thesis goes against common thinking about standardized tests and why they aren't applicable to us now. This can capture the reades attention but it is much to brief because you go right into your reasoning. According to the website link, your thesis needs to answer the "So what" question on it's so important.

An example of a weak thesis "The North and South fought the Civil War for many reasons, some of which were the same and some different."

An example of a strong thesis "While both sides fought the Civil War over the issue of slavery, the North fought for moral reasons while the South fought to preserve its own institutions."

 

If you can transform "Standardized testing is unfair and a waste of money." to something stronger, you're all good to go.
