[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. This assessment stinks for so many reasons and I don’t know any teachers that think it helps understand students at all. Most look at the scores once and disregard. We are required to give it. We watch the kids rush to get to the games or choose any answer just to get  it done. They are sick of testing. Pay no attention to it.[/quote]

I should've read this response before I wrote. Yes, we are tired of your excuses. [/quote]

Yeah,  this is something that every Teacher I know has said since DS was in K. It is a commonly known issue with the test. My favorite was listening to the stories from Distance Learning where my Teacher friends were telling parents they could hear them answering the question for their child or see the parent entering answers for their child.

iReady is a joke, and my kid starts the year in the Spring range the school is aiming for and his scores go up with each test. I have no idea what that tells the Teacher that they don't already know from working with the kids. He has one friend who took 5 days to take the test because the kid has OCD and wants to get everything right and is a really slow test taker. The family finally just told the school the kid wasn't finishing the test because he was missing class to take an assessment. I heard one of my sons friends laughing that it took him 15 minutes to do the test but that he got to play lots of games. All over the place and no way to make heads or tales over what the results mean. [/quote]
