The Fishers in La Paz, Bolivia


Whew! Made it thru testing!

Is there a Nobel Prize for standardized testing endurance?  The children at Highlands International School deserve some sort of award.  They’ve made it through a week of mornings taking Stanford Tests - tests in reading, tests in spelling, tests in math, tests in listening, tests in… I’m outta breath!

The testing went on from grades 2 - 8, and I administered three of the more limited-English-proficient of the second graders.  They were clearly novice at this ordeal, but they sure were troopers!

So, parents out there, when your dear sweety-pie takes End of Grade tests this spring, I want you to take them to their favorite retaurant, take them to a movie and let them buy a new toy.  They have earned it!

Chau for now!

Then add to that whatever state tests you have, such as the CATS test in KY, and No Child Left Behind for everyone.
