Very Weary

First, let me say that I am VERY glad there are only 3 letters left in the challenge.

Now that I've dropped the ball, AGAIN, I am going to combine the letters 'V' and 'W' because, today, I find that I am VERY WEARY.

I won't go into my opinion on school testing. Mostly because it would be a tirade that would go on for quite a while. And I wouldn't use nice words.

I will say that, as the computer teacher, having to set up three labs five days a week for three weeks for MAP testing is a pain. I go in thirty minutes to an hour early every day. I stay at least 45 minutes late every day. And each lab has to be set up 2 to 3 times each day.

If you think I was not a fan of testing before this, you can imagine how I feel about it now.

The good news is that only two students (out of close to 600--kindergarteners are spared the grief) have to make-up their tests.

The even better news is that my regular schedule resumes next week and I get my classes back!

The bad news (cause y'all knew it was coming) is that after next week, we begin the state testing.

Perhaps y'all are getting a little glimpse into why I am not a fan of testing. And I didn't even go into the tests themselves. You know, how they are geared towards setting kids up for failure or used to determine teacher pay even though some of the tests are outdated and...Ok, I know. I'll stop. 

Remember how I am also NOT a fan of summer?

Well, that's changed.

I don't even care about the heat.

Yet.

AND, guess what I get to do about two weeks after we're back in school after summer break?

The very same thing. Cause students get to be MAP tested TWICE every school year. Sheesh.

I'm linking this post to the twenty-second AND twenty-third post of the April, A-Z Challenge!
