I feel like it all comes down to politics.. who we chose to run the board of education has to power to make changes in the system

Teachers need to work together, not just within schools but across districts, to promote a new way of teaching and testing

School shouldn’t be about testing, it should be about learning and understanding. Performance through understanding. Not performance through memorization.

We need to overturn the system that runs our schools today. Teachers who are in the classroom should have the power to fight for their students and help them understand what their learning. Test scores should not be more important than the well being of our future generation. If the system cannot understand that then it needs to be overturned and a new system needs to be put in place.

It starts with informing students why they are where they are and why they need to learn what they're learning.

We need to focus on the students, make lessons that are engaging so they want to learn new things.

Teachers need to teach to understanding and not just to the test

It makes no sense to test like this bc it doesn’t text knowledge or understanding.

make teaching fun. teach in ways that interest the kids. teach about things that interest the kids. but bring it all back to what thing they're required to learn. if they're uninterested, they're not going to care. not every classroom is going to be the same, not every group of students is going to be the same. we need to adapt but engage them at the same time.

We should focus on teaching life skills and not worrying so much about how they perform

I hate the pressure around testing. We need to focus on teaching actual life skills that will benefit our students when they are out of school.
