THE JOY OF TESTING

It's amazing how schools claim to be about student achievement, but provide so little evidence of that. See how schools change their entire schedules around to maximize the opportunity for students to pass HSPA exams, but don't do anything about moving failing students out of classes they are too challenged by, or putting students in challenging classes they deserve.

Oh yeah, Midterms...

Did you forget to study for your midterm exams? Did they creep up on you because you weren't looking for them?

Well, if you followed my advice fromt the beginning of the year....you remember that fateful month...September? I told you then, and lots of times since....study a little bit of everything, every night.

Just think how easy it would be to pass your midterms, without "cramming." You would have already studied all of your materials and you would only have to review some specific stuff....

Life would be good if you would only take the advice of those that suffered before you!
