My state’a standardized test says kids are “at risk” if they aren’t in the top 40% of the test. The top 50% could all be traditional “a-b” students. But because they weren’t in the top 80% of a-b students they are at risk for failing academically… It’s so asinine and disheartening. The last half of the year is devoted to this idiotic test. Kids could be learning stuff that will enrich themselves… Instead they are learnig how to take a test better.
