You have to put your kids on tablets in preschool to prepare them for MAP testing in K.

Yes, my K student was upset that he couldn’t figure out how to answer some questions, particularly the dragging part, because he has never used a computer mouse/trackpad before. He even said he asked for help from an adult but they couldn’t get it either. (This could be totally made up, of course, he’s in K.) He also said it wasn’t fair that the test asked 200+200 because “nobody can know.”


I mean who's ever seen a 200, let alone two of them at the same time?!

OP here. Fwiw, scores shot upward in the spring.
