Stressed... the new four letter word

Is it possible for 'them' to ask us to do anymore???

We've added a remediation/enrichment time to our daily schedule. An HOUR.

As if we didn't have enough to do before, we have more kids to teach because the groups are based on their scores from a test they took.

We have to make goals with the kids about how to improve their scores. Yes, I have to do this with 1st and 2nd graders. 7 and 8 year olds! They don't understand what their score means. I don't always understand what they mean.

AND we have to make a pre/post assessment and assess every 2 weeks. EVERY 2 WEEKS!!!! If we are assessing every 2 weeks, when are we supposed to be doing the instruction that we are assessing??

AND we have to make a graph to put in the hallway to show how we are growing. WTF?!?!?!? SERIOUSLY!!!

UGH. Signing off now before I keep going. So ready for this school year to be complete.
