I am a fourth grade teacher. I really enjoy the students, but not the pressure regarding standardized tests. I live in Florida and here we have the FCAT. Today I got results from a pretest the kids took before the holidays. They did not do well at all. I just feel like all the air came out of me. I have been trying to be a motivating teacher and have so much faith in my students. Then I get results from this test and start wondering if I am truly teaching them? It is so sad that the testing is so important. Anybody else feel the same way?

I know I feel that way, as do all my colleagues. The sad thing is that you can either be a dynamic and engaging teacher, or you can teach to the test OR you can work 15 hours a day 7 days a week and be both.
