3 Weeks Of Testing For Elementary School Students  

My child is grown and a new mother. Very new! But I think that is the craziest thing I've ever heard that they do testing for so long. I just don't understand it.

Wow, three weeks, that is a very long time. While I have no children myself, I remember these standardized testing very well from my time in school. They have really stepped up with them since my time later. They were just one week when I went to school. Pretty much the same amount of time that during the test. And also one of the most tedious things in the world to do.

By the end of the week, I never wanted to see those tests ever again. And they were taken each and every year, until my Senior Year of high school pretty much. I can just imagine what three weeks of that torture like. Also, I do agree that those results were tricky to understand. The fact was that they really mattered little in the long run to us the students. I think there's something that determines how much funding the school gets or something like that. All that mattered to me was the final grades on the report card. In the grand scheme of things, those standardized tests was a week of my life that I would never get back. About the only good thing about that week was there was no homework. Then again, school work would be the absolute last thing I would even want to see after those standardized tests.
