testing

its 8:53 am and it is the fourth day in a row that we've been testing. (not including last week).

for those of you that dont know, testing is a big deal. i didn't know that when i was a child. i would take these CRT tests and I wouldn't even try because they didn't go on my grade or anything so i didn't care.

i knew that was going to come around and bite me this year.

kids hate testing. they just want it to be over with so they just fill in bubbles, make patterns with the bubbles, etc. but i cant really blame them because thats what i did.

i am ashamed.

it is so frustrating for me because my job hangs on how well my students do on this test. they most frustrating thing is that they know it! i've taught it over and over again. and they still get it wrong.

I DONT UNDERSTAND.

dont they love me?? why is this happening??!

all the hard work i put in all year is for this one week. these 6 tests

....oh the pressure....
