The teachers at the school I was subbing at were saying they want the kids IQ's tested, so they can see if the scores line-up w/ the IQ's.

teachers will only teach what is needed for the test

school is going to be a horrible place for a kid

that is already happening in many states where tests are the norm.

I came to this profession because I loved it and thought I could do good. I will leave it as soon as I feel that is not the case anymore.

I'm with you. I am now on the assessment team for kids. No more, if it is tied to a friends salary. Conflict of interest. Can't be objective

Giving up does not solve the problem, going on and changing things from inside the system works.

it has already gone down hill (teacher creativity) and that only makes it worse.

Passing come to see, say hello to you!
