Thank God the test is over! I LOVE teaching more than anything and I feel as I am an effective teacher, so why does it stress me out so badly? I don't stress about it weeks before like some do, but the week OF??? Oh my gosh, I am a wreck. This year was worse than the previous years though. I think the lower the students in the class, the harder I work, and the less evidence is shown in the end. One child that I was very worried about tried so hard. I was proud of her, but one little boy... I could have just screamed. He gave up by day 3... I believe teachers and students need accountability, but one test should not be that accountability. Too much pressure on them and too much pressure on the teachers.
