Now that testing is over...

...very little is happening. Every teacher here that I have talked to says there is no point to the last two weeks of school. Especially since their grades are due by the end of this week. What a waste of time and taxpayer dollars.

However, we must remain professional. So "learning" continues as if nothing were wrong. But the students can tell that the teachers want summer vacation to be here just as much as they do.

My schedule is also back to normal (that is, boring). So I read education policy, of course. Here is an interesting article about gifted education, which I think is looked at much less than SPED, and clearly more research needs to be done. But that is the bane of education research in general. Change is so slow to happen. Aaargh.
