[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my school, the time window for kindergarten assessments opened on the first day of school and our principal said she expected the K teachers to begin testing no later than the 3rd day of school.  Oh yes.[/quote]

When do you think the kindergarten teachers should start assessing? The fourth day? The tenth day? The twenty-first day?[/quote]

Honestly, the kids should be tested before school and put into classrooms based on ability. Would save so much time and kids would be with similar peers. Less reading groups too. But I am sure wasting all of Sept, Jan and May on K assessments for a report card of P's is worth it. [/quote]

They are tested before school starts in 3rd grade - its called end of year 2nd grade - but kids lose ground over the summer and need to be re-tested.  Unless you want to come back a week early - and then you are still testing IN SCHOOL - so you are not logical unless you are advocating for a shorter summer or year round schooling.[/quote]
