[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s too bad the teacher talked like that. Make sure your 3rd grader understands that the teacher was nervous about what the test would reveal about her own performance and she took it out on her class. Adults get caught up in worrying about things too, and unfortunately, she really overstated the importance of this test in her students’ lives because of the importance it carries for her.[/quote]

I'm a teacher and I'm not stressed at all about how the scores will reflect on me. I don't really know any other teachers concerned with this either as it isn't really a reflection of our teaching skills at all. I just told my fifth graders not to worry about it and try their best. [/quote]

+1. When my kids say stuff like this, I like to probe a little. Usually, when kids say an adult said something outlandish that doesn't make sense, it turns out what actually happened was much less extreme. Teachers don't care about this test. It in no way reflects on them or impacts their jobs.[/quote]

Nope. That teacher said all of that and with that intensity. As a teacher, I wish adults would believe children and stop discrediting them at every turn.[/quote]

OP here- the above post was not by me[/quote]
