Wouldn't it be nice if my 5th graders could be tested for 5th grade reading after they've had a school year of learning at the 5th grade level? It makes sense to me... but unfortunately, NY kids take the ELA in January (not even halfway through the school year.)
Want to change this? We go to school until the end of June, but the state assesses our kids for English Language Arts almost 6 months before the school year is over and in math 4 months before the year is over.
Click here to take the survey and share your opinions about when the State Tests should be administered (sadly "NEVER" isn't an option...) There's an article here about it....

Took the survey - thanks for the heads up!
Ok, I took it. In the second area for comments I wrote:
Current regime produces "ELA December" and "Math February" - this is not school, not education.
