I think part of it was my lack of experience when I taught 3rd, but what I remember is the testing aspect of it. I love K, don't get me wrong, but I wonder if I'd feel differently about 3rd if it weren't for the testing pressure. Hope you are enjoying you weekend!<br /><br />Amanda<br /><a href="www.averycuriousclass.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">A Very Curious Class</a>Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821626827458343376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268361743015617057.post-90244809027845788802015-02-11T20:16:11.778-06:002015-02-11T20:16:11.778-06:00You have stated exactly what's been rattling a...You have stated exactly what's been rattling around in my head for the past few weeks as well...thank you.

I am in the verge of crying or throwing up constantly because I feel so awful about what is going on...the amount of days I am losing teaching time to test other people's students. It helps to hear others speak how I am feeling. I just wish we could make a difference.Em Hutchisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714399463592010921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268361743015617057.post-79925645341926741392015-02-11T08:14:58.720-06:002015-02-11T08:14:58.720-06:00PreachPreachAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118204814132341267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3268361743015617057.post-60144497418336910012015-02-10T20:42:17.304-06:002015-02-10T20:42:17.304-06:00Amen!
