I can’t believe that it’s this time of year again! Our son Jeromy who is a 4^th grade has made through another testing season. Forth grade has brought on a lot of new challenges; girls, sports competiveness & the dreaded EOG’s.

Overall, I would say he has had a pretty good year. As a parent and an educator I must admit the end of grade testing systems the schools districts use for accountability really frustrate me. Your child could have busted their butt all year and not be a great test taker and possibly fail for the year because of one test! On the flip side, your child could have been really lazy and not done any work all year but test well and automatically advance.

I hope one day a more efficient system to highlight a child’s individual strengths and address their weakness comes to light!

Proud mother & educator,
