“2-3 months of a school year are spent trying to get kids to pass a test.”
Ma’am, I teach and with all due respect if they did their job the other 7-8 months they wouldn’t be spending the last 2-3 catching up.
I can see this argument wrt to the sciences, but history?! Wow. I can see devoting a week to the test prep, but beyond that?
My original post quoted a public school teacher regarding the length of time spent on the whole standardized test experience. You’ll have to address your questions to her.
