kids in my class filled in the bubbles (cat test-short for california achievement test, do NOT write in test book-here's a graham cracker) to make pretty designs. look, a kite. i made a diamond. mine goes in and out....
i don't know what needs to happen to fix our public school system--altho, have to say after raising three kids that they've done pretty well-my three kids that is. but i did what i could to fill the gaps in their learning, the right books, right t.v., etc. stayed involved.
i think that's the biggest problem facing schools-no involvement from most parents. they expect the school to do it all-and i think that's impossible.
by the same token, there has to be some way to make sure kids are on track-if not testing, then what?
