SailorMom Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 So - last year my son decided he wanted to go back to PS for 8th and HS. We talked to the guidance counselor at the school and figured out the best way to go about it. The worst part - he had to take the FCAT for the first time this March. I refuse to teach to any test - so other than showing him how to bubble in the scan-tron form, and going over one practice test, we really didn't worry about it. When he took the test, though, I was so worried that I had left him with a disadvantage over all the kids there who had had focused FCAT instruction (which I abhor). Anyway - he was just accepted into the Advanced Algebra and Advanced Language Arts classes based on his scores!!! I'm so relieved, and so happy that I didn't mess this up for him!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I feel the same way you do! I abhor testing and refuse to teach to a test or really even "review" for a cumulative test like that. I want to see what he knows, not what he can store in his short term memory and delete really fast. I am cheering with you that your son did so well! WTG!!!

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Proof that you don't have to teach to the test, to do well on the test! All you have to do is be well educated.:party: I totally agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
