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. ]]> 2018-11-07 22:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/amcelreath/608a0hitgqj2/wish/301832332 I hate the pressure around testing.
