Unfortunately, this is happening all over the country Susan. Teachers are basically forced to "teach to the test", because the financial consequences are too important - schools can't survive without the funding. Unfortunately we're losing a lot of good teachers because of all this. Frankly, I blame the California educators who always seem to be the originators of all these ideas.

I agree with you on the testing thing. To me, it's not fair for these schools to soley be judged on only these test scores and just test scores alone.

It was in Nebraska (probably pretty obvious ); I was sitting at a stoplight and there was a livestock semi sitting in the lane next to me. All of a sudden I see this huge, yellow gush coming out of it onto the entire hood of my car. Took a couple seconds to register what it was. But I just had to sit there and watch because there were cars in front and behind me (I could see the people in the car behind me cracking up). So gross :hurl:

My family still teases me about it.

You are your child's greatest, and often only, advocate, and you know your child better than anyone, so you really have to follow your gut instincts about it.

Thanks I need ya'lls support and prayers in this. It is soooo frustating to deal with the school.

She is very frustrated and getting to hate school. I like the teacher. My other 2 DDs has had her but this yr for some reason she seems tougher on the kiddos.:shrug:

When the other 2 had her, did they have the testing then too?

Yes, but it also was with 2 differant Principles. The first one passed away and the second one was only temp. Now we have this one and since this one came in things changed.:shrug:
