I personally hate these tests.. I feel like the school puts so much pressure on these kids to pass this thing. My
Kids are only in elementary so I can only imagine it gets worse. My kid was dreading going to school today..

I stopped making a big deal out of the tests. Parents and teachers make this kids more anxious and stressed when they do that. It's silly how much emphasis is put on it.

@Undecided:
 
That is exactly what it is and with the pressure from the teachers(not sure if they get bonuses based on scores, like they have in the past) and SUPPORT and GUIDANCE from the Parents, it's no wonder the kids freak out a little.
 
And we Emoticon and support our Teachers all the way.
 
@blueyes:
 
But to paraphrase GWB: Is our children learning?

I hate them, too (the whole year is focused on passing the tests), but you can't really negate their importance. There is that little promotion issue. Emoticon

No bonuses on scores. That would be nice but yes the testing really stresses out teachers and students. Thanks for the support though!

Question for the teachers: Do we really need these tests for you to determine who needs help, who is on target, and who is advanced?
