My girls did not do well on some standardized testing. I am not too concerned about it. I don’t like standardized testing. It is too easy to mess up. How do you test kids who are not able to read or sit still for very long? I don’t think that is very accurate. I think that kids are tested too much.
When I look at my kids, I think that they are brilliant. There are different levels of intelligence. There are some factors that are not taken into consideration when the kids are tested.
My kids get bored easily. They like excitement and adventure. I know, because they are a lot like me. They don’t want to sit still. There are times when they want to be out and about. They want to be active. Having them tested in a situation where they are made to be quiet for a long period of time, and then forcing them to answer questions is not the best way to test my kids. They are good with short sessions. They are more apt to take a test when it is fun. Not all kids are alike. This standardized testing means nothing to me. I know my kids.
