I was there for those week-long tests last year. I remember that there were improvements in a child's standardized test scores but because it didn't hit a certain mark it wasn't "enough". <br /><br />Don't even get me started on the fact that we need to be saving teachers and not cutting the education budget--hmm maybe those at the tippy-top should get a nice pay cut and have to take furloughs. I don't think their six figure salaries are fair to the teachers who are constantly on the front lines, dealing with the myriad of issues that each and every child comes to school bearing. Multiply those issues by 25 and you've got a tough class to teach. <br /><br />Okay, I went way off on a tangent and I apologize. You are an amazing teacher and I'm sorry that the powers-that-be don't see that. You're making a huge difference in these kids' lives both behaviorally and academically.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140433064010099128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823710098856451382.post-78017277668322851142011-05-18T21:46:24.709-07:002011-05-18T21:46:24.709-07:00Honey,
