[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 525201"] DF, they have been doing practice things as part of the regular school lessons throughout the year. The Reading test is today. He could have done a specific practice Math test for extra credit in math but he flat out refused. He doesn't do any more than he absolutely has to. Bunny, for these tests the ALWAYS get to take as much time as they need. Absolutely NO ONE has any kind of a time limit. Keista, our schools will still continue to do the other tests that don't count against funding because it gives the districts & teachers an idea of how kids will do on the state tests. That is what the school I worked for did. The ones that did poorly on the Fall national tests got lots of extra help throughout the school year so their Spring national scores will go up AND their state testing scores will be better. It IS very sad. For us, it's VERY anxiety provoking. Insane, he seemed to have exhausted himself with his ranting last night. He is still sleeping at 8:30!! [/QUOTE]
