Well, I am starting to finally relax. The explanation of MLA format was so helpful. Of course, Mr. Dudding helps deliver explanations in a calming way. Thank goodness! I have started my paper and feel better about my topic. I still need to work on it, of course.
I was impressed with the ten problematic epistemological assumptions (falsehoods) of the standardized tests. My feelings and thoughts about testing seem more validated, even if the validation is just among us(those in this class). I don't feel so alone. Many of the assumptions from yesterday had been discussed previously when we wrote of our own feelings. We are all thinking the same way as our students' teachers. We care about our students and are dedicated to teaching them to learn and cope with life, not teaching to take a test.

It is nice that Mr. D has a good sense of humor. I thought that the MLA explanation was very helpful. It really allowed me to relax.
Julie, I know it was a relief to get th MLA informatiion. I was so confused. Now it seems that everything is falling into place. I still agree that the standardized tests ar not fair. We have to work with the type of children that we get. Wow, what a variety wwe get sometimes!
