Busy week! Sometimes getting to Friday feels like sliding into homeplate! Our district conducts, well actually TEACHERS conduct "universal screening" 3 times a year and 3rd grade has four tests to give. The scores are part of our APPR this year so everyone is really looking hard at the numbers!
I don't know about you but I am worried about the quality of education coming down to those narrow skills that are easily tested. Of course those skills should be mastered by every kid, but it seems that they are the only ones receiving focus anymore. It's sadder than sad.
