Today is the first day of a very LONG week at school. We have TAKS testing most of the week. I'm all for accountability in schools, but I think anyone who has been involved in TAKS will say that the state of Texas has taken assessment to a whole new level.
Did you know?
*TAKS materials in our school are locked up in a closet with 2 locks (one was not secure enough) in a locked office.
*Anyone who gives the test or is involved in any way must sign a security oath (not once, but a minimum of three different times).
*If a student pukes on the test, we have to bag it up and send it back in to the state.

This week will be a great week. Hope nobody pukes!
Thanks for doing what you do!
My mom is school counselor. So, I am very aware of how ridiculous the rules are. Hang in there!!
