Soap box time. Every year in spring the kids do State testing. Every year we get a reminder to make sure our kids get a good nights sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, etc... The kids generally dont get homework that whole week, they are provided a snack during the day and most if the time during math testing, they get gum! We even get a gentle reminder phone call to reinforce the theory of actually taking care if our kids. As you can tell, Im more than put off by the laser like focus of concern for our kids during this time of the year. I thought that perhaps since I hadnt heard the normal encouragement to take care of my children, that maybe they were backing off and finally got the hint. Nope! Ill share why after I get some feedback. Please know that there are several teachers that are and have always been concerned with the welfare of the children .
