Also, don't act like you really check whether Johnny is achieving whether you know his skills the first week or the 100th. Weeks go by and you probably haven't checked a single paper. Teachers don't grade papers at home or after work anymore and are just as on board with getting rid of worksheets and any proof of learning as the admin.[/quote]

If he was in our school last June, we absolutely know what skills he knows in September -- unless he went to summer school or got substantial tutoring.

I have students on day one who I know are 2-3 grade levels below in basic math skills or decoding skills, for instance.  It's no secret they are behind/below where they should be.  [/quote]

Kids these days take an assessment test on a computer that spits out an assessment analysis that teachers just have to read and plan lessons for. They are typically taken at the beginning of the year, middle of the year, and end. I really don't know how much easier they could make it for teachers. The assessment just confirms the 2-3 grade levels below for you to justify the teaching level. What do you actually have to do for it?

The sticky note example is just some example to help teachers work together better. It isn't related to assessments. Maybe your biggest beef is that teachers shouldn't have to collaborate so much.[/quote][/quote]
