[quote=Anonymous]Note to all parents -- if you don't like how focused the principal or teachers are on cramming for this test -- complain complain, complain. Bring it up at a PTA meeting. get a committee working on it, do anything. Principals and teachers are under so much pressure about these test scores. There are no test scores for children't emotional health and well being, being stressed out, etc. If you feel it is a problem, you are likely the only stakeholders who care about your chidlren's emotional well being (teachers probably caer, but there's not that much they can do if the parents don't speak up.) At a minimum demand: -- no one mentions test scores to children at school - kids aren't being told "You'll need this on the MSA" but rather, "This is a valuable academic skill you will need in your future!" -- no use of MSA work packet test prep or very minimal. Instead, all year long, parts of every assignment should involve questions written in test format.[/quote]
