I often wonder if I would be able to sit through testing myself like you pondered...probably not. Here's hoping the week flies by and that your students do a "sweet" job!<br /><br />Jennifer<br /><b><i><a href="http://mrslaffinslaughings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Laffin's Laughings</a></i></b>Jennifer Laffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409566035103972341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564957199723345598.post-27454591041296825952014-03-23T07:56:28.191-04:002014-03-23T07:56:28.191-04:00Nick, I despise state testing as well.

We have been informed that any mints/candy/food during "The Test" will cause an invalidation! Really? The only little bit of encouragement I'm aloud to give has been taken away. I'm left shaking my head.

It doesn't really get any easier to stomach. This year they printed FL teachers' scores on an online newspaper. I am at the point of not caring because no matter what...my kids will have a hard time showing gains because they are already meeting high standards. It's such a waste of two weeks that we could be learning new things. I already know where my kids are...I don't need a test that I won't see the results from until summer to tell me. All I do care about is my kids having fun learning and becoming life long readers.
