I completely agree that the system is broken. However, I'm hesitant to get rid of something that allows you to measure how badly broken it is. See the article below, for instance.

Bottom line, in my opinion: Some objective criteria is necessary in order to evaluate student (and teacher) performance from year to year. Standardized testing currently measures that. If getting rid of it would improve the system, go for it---but you'll still need some sort of heart rate monitor.
