No one should care how a kindergartener compares on a standardized test with kindergarteners around the country. They should care if the child feels cared for, valued, successful, and actually enjoys coming to school to learn.
Itโs sheer insanity to expect teachers to implement both differentiated learning and standardized testing. We must choose one or the other; you canโt effectively support diverse learners while enforcing a one-size-fits-all assessment system.
Our students need recess, unstructured play, physical education, all the Arts, and their extracurricular activities! That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority.
