Homework and AIMS
I promise I will try to be a good blogger, but you know how I get when I am in school, homework blah blah blah! So, I had to print out and take parts of the third grade AIMS math test. Two of the answers were wrong on their answer keys!!! That's nice and fair for our kids! I now have to do a write up about these tests....hmmmm I don't think it will be very positive.

so if the kid gets it right, do they count it as wrong? maybe that's why test scores are low...
It's that new math thing...
Don't get me started on the AIMS test. It is a stupid test we require our public school kids to take it and then determine funding based on it. (If you get higher scores, you get more money...how is that right?!?!?!)
because giving more money to the schools whose kids need it more makes to much sense.
(oops - i meant too. obviously my children are being educated by someone well-qualified)
exactly, it is completely ass backwards that the schools with the better scores and the students with the means for tutors (Scottsdale) get even more money when the ones who really need it have lower scores and are most likely in the lower socioeconomic class. But, busy you are lucky because as of right now homeschool kids are not required to take the AIMS.
They will never be able to enforce that. We had a meeting about that at M's homeschool program. Its is just too much control. They could someday require testing of some sort, but the AIMS is too specific for them to be able to pull it off. At least, I hope thats the way it stays!
And hobbitsister is the perfect teacher for Erma and Scout:)
even though i don't know my homonyms?
Homony-whats?? Wait.. I teach math ;)
