and so March begins
the month of LEAP
you know, those standardized tests the kids take
CRT/NRT criterion referenced tests and norm referenced tests
grades 4, 8, 10 must pass their CRT in order to pass to the next grade
NCLB (no child left behind) uses the scores from those to determine whether schools and teachers are doing their jobs
march is also the month that parents start going coocoo for cocopuffs
all of a sudden they become aware of their childs progress or lack of it and want to meet with me to see what can be done
hello people!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've been trying to contact YOU all friggin year and now its too late
YOU need to work with your child every nite, helping with homework and making sure it is being done
YOU need to be in contact with all of your child's teachers ALL year to make sure your child is learning and retaining
YOU need to help keep your child motivated
YOU need to care from AUGUST on
the test is in 3 weeks and if they dont have it now they arent gonna have it march 15
right now its test practice and a LOT of stroking the egos, telling the kids they can do it and they are smart, blahblahblah
they are nervous and scared and its not the time for YOU to lose control, they need calm right now
and there's only 12 more weeks of school yayyayyay!
