I beg all real educators not to be a part
of the testing charade by
celebrating better test scores — if you do — you are actually buying into this sorry state
of affairs --- and what happens when they go down again — which they will — do you make excuses or feel bad or ashamed --(testing needs to be used for what it was intended for)-- lets NEVER forget that — sing praises to your students real accomplishments on a daily basis — and stay true to your calling and to your heart ---- The
tide will
turn if you do so — and our students will benefit when that time comes again ----- Tom
