The month of May is one of rains and blooms and today some booms. However, in our school world it is also the month of tests. With all of the AP and IB tests we have kids all over the place (using three different sites) and moving through lots of locations. At one point our AP testing coordinator was thinking of using the locker room for a testing site.
The kids are in the middle of a tough month. It is mostly juniors and seniors but effects the entire building. We can feel the tension and just the nerves of bouncing all over the place - different places, different times and different subjects. We have some students moving less than 15 minutes between tests and in a couple cases they overlap.
That makes for some strange classes and some odd days. We do out best to maintain a regular schedule but that is difficult. Even our freshmen and sophomores are involved in the MCA-II Science test so they are in the mix. Testing is a part of our lives now. Our kids certainly will have the experience of taking high stake tests and they continue in life.
You may have one of those who took two or three today. Maybe a little R and R is okay.
Besides it is raining. Take the night off and come see Picnic on the main stage starting at 7 pm
