@aenclade Testing is at school district where my younger kids go. There is much less such testing at charter school my 9th grader goes to. 3:09 AM Nov 6th from Tweetie in reply to aenclade
@aenclade @MissShuganah But a later start would interfere w/sports. You'd have 2 get multiple districts 2 talk & their athletic depts! 8:44 PM Nov 5th from Tweetie in reply to aenclade
Despite the excessive testing, district seems much more serious & supportive of differentiated instruction practices. 8:41 PM Nov 5th from Tweetie
Seven yrs ago R admin insisted we do not & will not teach to "the test". Now, we not only teach to it, we test to it all yr long! 8:30 PM Nov 5th from Tweetie
@lwcavallucci @hchybinski A little improvement in the customer relations dept wouldn't hurt. Parents are consumers on behalf of their kids. 10:25 AM Nov 5th from TweetDeck

@paulbogush How can I find out if PA has a "left test blank" option. If so, promoting that is a step, but participation cld B challenge. 10:22 AM Nov 5th from TweetDeck in reply to paulbogush
@hchybinski @lwcavallucci Perhaps the answer lies in what their business is producing. Are high test scores the only successful outcome? 10:20 AM Nov 5th from TweetDeck in reply to hchybinski
