For my first toot, I would like to say that I think it stinks that our children are judged primarily on multiple choice tests taken in a high pressure situation. The state tests do not show the flexibility, persistence, and creativity of my students. Nor do they show their ability to collaborate or to use and interpret technology.
If you really want to know about my students and their mathematical abilities, stop by and visit. You will learn more than any one test will show.
