[quote=Anonymous]Teachers stress kids out because principals stress teachers out, and there is someone above the principal stressing him/her out, too. When I was a teacher in FCPS we gave quizzes, tests and standardized assessments in first grade and the stakes were high for us. We had to track ever kid's results and submit them to a literacy coach sometimes. The standardized assessments were submitted to the administration and beyond. Teachers were so stressed out and competitive about the student scores that some actually cheated and gave kids higher scores than they deserved. Welcome to the age of accountability. This is why I will never go back to elementary school - making children cry over a spelling grade is NOT why I became a teacher. [/quote]
