“You can’t scare kids into learning how to read” THAT PART
and yet, more states like Indiana are trying to copy this approach
The literal tearing down of my classroom always frustrated me. I would have to tear down all my students’ beautiful work, put the desks back into rows, and make my once “homey” classroom a sterile environment. The kids hated it. I hated it.
Its so beyond draining to know that this is what we put our children through. Your thoughts on this as an expert are so important!
thank you! it's so sad, but I hope videos like this can cut through the noise and make a difference
Thank you for always being an ally for working class families and students 🖤
❤ it means everything to me
It has gotten so much more intense since I was a kid. State testing early elementary school kids?! It's such a silly way to measure whether the [wildly underfunded] system is working
it's so disheartening! and all this stress for basically no reason
If i were ever a teacher,id make those test days movie/game days when kids are done testing and the "study periods" we had in middle through highschool, social development period, where they play coorpative board games/sports games that build social skills. People are conditioned into not asking around for help and fail to find good paying jobs due to poor social skills.
I think a lot of teachers try to give students a relaxing/fun atmosphere to balance out the tests. the poor babies absolutely need a movie day after working so hard
Your passion is much appreciated!
💕 thank you!
I took the EOG test in NC during third grade in 2014. Had no idea the stakes were so high. I moved states for 4th grade before I could learn the results. Maybe a I failed
Haha I bet your parents heard about the rules and got you the heck outta there!
"You can't pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you don't have boots"- TRUTH. Solid video as usual Natalie. Standardized testing needs to be revised, especially when it comes to our littles.
Thank you! We absolutely need to do our kids better, they deserve to have positive feelings around education
I think Pennsylvania just did something about standardize testing 👏 making some moves
oh! do you know what they did?
@@PrimaryFocus “The new plan will reduce the state’s reliance on standardized testing and will implement online testing, adopting question types that allow students to use methods they are familiar with, and developing a free, optional benchmark assessment tool for schools to help educators better understand whether students are on track to succeed.” I’ll site my source in the next comment 😉 I don’t know if what they are implementing will be helpful but it’s better than nothing?
