The administration needs to come to an elementary school to see the amount of time spent taking tests. I spoke with a fellow teacher who had a first grader come to her the last week of January stating "you haven't taught us anything in 2008 because we have to take a test every time we come to reading time." Would district members want their own children subjected to these rigorous tests?</p> I too saw the article in the dispatch and felt the quote about the amount of times it takes students to take tests was understated.
