5. "That testing is hell on the kids" In response to In response to 1
About a week ago the kids had to take a reading just a weeks after taking the psat and some other standardized test. Some of my kids just said f&ck. I tried bribing a kid w/ a juice and she stayed deep in her protest. All I could do was raise the black fist and say ‘more power to you sis’. She eventually logged in and finished the test. One of the guys started the test but after staring at the screen for 5-7 mins, he stopped, said f&ck this sh!t, pulled chairs together and rested his eyes. Another girl student also complained about the screen making her sleepy but made it through.
The kids (h.s) were over it. Sad thing is they cant get the test in paper form and I believe that all or the majority of the test are online only.
