Especially teaching the students I do, I have such a hard time "getting ready for the test." It's like we've stopped teaching to make sure they can be successful in life and focused only on them being successful on the test. To make it even worse, many of my students have several of the qualities listed above that go unrecognized because they simply don't fit with the common core or eligible content. I think as teachers we need to look beyond the test, into the strengths of each of our students that may not be shown with a paper and pencil.
