[quote=Anonymous]13:01 here. The context is 2nd grade, not GREs. The questions are not about venting. I'm asking for others' experienced because I only know one school. Teachers and administrators sometimes say conflicting things.

The PIAs supposedly only take an hour and are supposed to help assess a child's progress, right? But some teachers tell us results aren't relevant. One said tests are "just practice" for the real test. The websites are used for homework practice. They are not supposed to have trick questions one teacher told me who agrees some if the wording is poor. "But it's what we are supposed to use." It seems like teachers are frustrated too. We have plenty of highly effective teachers and they are very diverse in age and backgrounds. The principal often says common core standards transition takes a while. No detail beyond that.

For those who feel their math teaching IS working well, please share specific books, sites, etc. It would be helpful to benchmark what our school is, or is not, using. [/quote]
