The amount of nonsense meetings, data collection, and report writing is uncalled for and meaningless! Standardized testing (last year PARCC and this year AIR) are not developmentally appropriate, reliable, or valid for any K-12 Ohio student, yet part of teacher's state and district evaluations and students promotions and graduations! I'm sick for our students! Teachers who went into this profession because they had a passion for learning and the responsibility to meet the needs of children is not occurring. It is almost impossible to make a big impact on students when there's no time for meaningful creativity or experiences. It's all about Common Core, testing, and evaluations. This method is ruining society's! Wake up America...our politicians and elitist a are running public schools, all of whom know nothing about child development, teaching, or assessments.
