excerpt from standardized test preparation
steve dawson
recent discussions regarding standardized test preparation for students in this district have hardened into two antagonistic
positions. for the past six months, debate has raged between supporters of a longer school day-with the extra ninety minutes
tacked on used exclusively for test tutoring-and opponents of this proposed measure. opponents claim that extending the
school day will cost too much money. they propose, instead, that students who need extra preparation be tutored during the
school day; time for tutoring would come from "non-essential" classes, such as art, music, journalism, drama, or physical
education

fed up parents
i'm a single mother with three children in the public school system, and i'm tired of all this testing mania. i realize that teachers
and students need to be assessed, but enough is enough already. i am against extending the school day for standardized-test
tutoring. i work long hours and don't get to spend enough time with my kids as it is. i don't want them coming home just in time
for dinner only to disappear into their rooms and do homework until bedtime. but i'm also against pulling students out of
supposedly "nonessential classes like music and art just so they can spend even more time on the so-called essential classes
happen to think that music and art are essential and i know my children agree
the length of the school day should remain the same.
