D

School report cards came out today. North Carolina schools were graded mainly on how the kids did on the EOG tests. My school received a D. Many schools in North Carolina received a D or F. Many of those schools are low poverty areas. It seems to be a direct correlation. We as teachers do everything we can to get our students ready for the real world. Testing is a skill that I didn't have either. It's a shame that our schools are being graded mainly on test scores of students.
