My students are required to take the GHSGT test and even if they pass and the chances of that are slim to none, they still do not get a general education diploma. They haven't taken the required classes. It's nothing but another opportunity for them to feel defeated and frustrated with their educational experience. I've been told it has something to do with "No Child Left Behind".
I feel a little steam building here! Can I see a movement coming in the near future?
ReplyDeleteI think this is totally ridiculous and something MUST be done about these standardized test eliminating the chance and sending negative messages to our students that they are just a "Test Score". It infuriates me more and more when I hear these issues. Where do we begin to create the movement? Johnny, my email is virtuousinv@yahoo.com. Please email me about the job openings.
ReplyDeleteAaaargh! I think I'd better leave it at that. I want to keep my job.
