I think a difference between the Canadian (well, Ontarian) system and the American system might be the reason we disagree here. Students here write standardized math, reading, and writing tests every three years (Grades 3, 6, and 9). There's also a "literacy test" which is taken in Grade 10. It's a good check, imo, and as far as I know it hasn't ruined anybody's life.
