[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After they reach a certain grade, they will only have to take it once instead of 3 times.

It is significantly better than the DRA, btw.  Way less class time spent on it.[/quote]

Only from the teacher’s perspective.  From the kid’s perspective, the Iready is much longer, especially if you have a young early reader.  My kid spent hours on it in first grade for just the reading portion.  THe DRA would have been over much faster for him.[/quote]

Also from the student's perspective, since the student has a substitute for the month while the teacher tests every student. [/quote]

But the teacher can do that this year on Mondays! So...[/quote]

I made appointments to do testing with my students today. Out of 10 appointments, 3 students showed up. Now I have to reschedule the other 7 for next week which means I only have 3 spots for next week. You see how this goes?[/quote]

What's the rush, no one has learned anything since last March. [/quote]

As usual, someone spouting off who has no idea what they’re talking about.

It’s almost a month into school. That’s not a “rush.” You need a BASELINE benchmark, so you can’t do it 3 months into the year when they’ve gotten instruction again, that’s not a benchmark. Additionally, the testing companies only have testing windows open at certain times and when they close we cannot test kids again until the next window months away.

Stop acting like you know any damn thing about schools when you do not! [/quote]
