Yesterday and today, I spent 4 hours with students retesting the state's mandated Math and/or Reading assessments. These are the students who did not meeting the passing standards in April. The students must pass these tests to move on to the next grade level.
Those making the decisions surrounding state assessment should have to assess students--prepare the tests, arrange the schedule and rooms while everyone else in the building carries on with curriculum, find staff who can give up a day or two of their regular jobs to assess the students, and deal with the stress, frustration, and discipline of the re-testers.
We are always hearing things about prayer and God being removed from schools. Well, during both days of testing, prayer was taking place. The adults administering the tests for praying for the students.
