[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I taught in a Title 1 elementary school very focused on test scores. It’s a lot of worksheets in math and only focusing on standards that you know will be assessed. Everything else is secondary. It’s very similar in ELA. Lots of worksheets that are skill based - Find the main idea, What is the genre, identify story elements. No real reading for enjoyment. Lots of talking about how to take a test, test strategies, process of elimination etc. This isn’t just for a couple of weeks before testing starts. This is all year starting in September. [/quote]yes, all concepts and topics not on the test are completely ignored. [/quote]
