First part of the year

The beginning of the year is always kind of interesting. We have a lot of opportunity to get to know our new group of kids, but one of the ways we know them is through testing. I fully understand that we need to know where kids are to get them to their next step. But some of the standardised testing, seems a little bit forced?

I’m just on this because I teach two classes, and it seems like I’ve been lucky with the draw so I get all the standardised tests. I’m not really worried about the loss of teaching time, I’m more just curious if it has the desired effect.
