Sorry about that, Rellielou-I was in a bit of a rush when I wrote that. Yes, I agree that there is too much focus on standardized tests-I had to take a thirty minute class every day, for two weeks, to prepare for one (and I pass all of mine, flying colors.). However, I’m from a district where about 40 percent can pass them-the idea of being stressed too much, from work, is ludicrous. However, I know there are some districts (like the one where I’m moving to), is much more high-performing. Is it just me, but has anyone noticed the disparities between public schools? Maybe Race to Nowhere should focus on that, instead of the idea that America’s children are being stressed too much-because it obviously isn’t, looking at the test scores!
