I agree. And, I never had any problem with the testing - that was the LEAST of my problems as a teacher. It depends on what you tell the students. I would say to my students:

"OK, raise your hand if you plan on driving a car someday!" (Every hand shot up)

"Now, raise your hand if you plan on driving a boat someday!" (Almost every hand stays up)

"OK, great, now raise your hand if you want to learn how to take required tests so you can drive your car, operate your boat, fly your plane, etc."

Well, Amore, every student's hand is waving wildly now - suddenly, every kid wants to become an expert test-taker! And, yeah, bring on that FL test! (We need the practice!)

I am serious! :)
