[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our K teachers get berated frequently after they test the kids.  They just finished their mid year testing and all of them were crying by the end of the meeting with the administrator.  The admins are under pressure from their bosses so they take it out on the teachers.  We have kids in our school who couldn't even pick out their own name on a table with 2 other student name tags when they started K in August.  There is no way those students will be reading at a level D by the end of kindergarten unless a miracle occurs.  Apparently, kindergarten teachers are supposed to be miracle workers now.  If any DCUMs have time during their day, call a lower SES school and ask how to become a volunteer.  Seriously.  The kids need your help.[/quote]

You have to name the district where this is happening.  You have a bad principal there.

We are in a poor school in MD and this is not happening in our schools.   We are in PG County.   We test kids in K and 1st grade on the DRA as there are no "common core assessments" for kids below grade 3.   [/quote]

Baltimore City.  Come on up and join the fun.[/quote]
