[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's hard when DCPS schedules Spring Break so that DC CAPE testing is almost immediately after return for many kids (which is dumb). Schools have a big incentive to make sure there's not much slide and the younger the kids, the more likely there is per educational research. If I were a 3rd-5th grade teacher, frankly, I'd assign homework too.[/quote] I don't care about standardized testing. If they want to ensure better results, schedule it more thoughtfully and schedule in a way that doesn't put added pressure on the students and their families. [/quote] It's nice that you don't care, but teachers do. I don't think DCPS should set a policy that undermines the ability of teachers to meet their IMPACT incentives. [/quote]
