[QUOTE="Andy, post: 355993, member: 5096"] difficult child had State tests a few weeks ago - you know the ones every kid has to do every single year? We missed one afternoon before the tests started and when I asked if he had homework for that day, he said no. The class was spending the ENTIRE class time LEARNING how to fill out those "bubbled" info and answer sheets! I would hate to be the teacher in front of 30 some 7th graders trying to make each of them understand how to do that. It is hard to teach common sense - difficult child thought it all was a waste of time as I am sure most kids would so their attention would certainly not be on the teacher. What a chaotic day that must have been in the classroom as no one probably felt the need to pay attention. This should have been understood years ago for the 7th graders as each state test is a similar format. If they learn it when they are 9, then WHY do they have to spend 45 minutes relearning it when they are 13 and 14? I am sure they were about Duckie's age when they were introduced to "Bubbles".
