All I have done this week is enter grades. Hours of my life I will never get back.
Rather than "grade" five-year-olds on their ability and effort as shown by school mandated tests, I would MUCH rather reflect on the data that I collect and use for my own teaching.
What I am required to say: TK on comparing numbers, 50%.
What I would like to say: "TK is having trouble comparing numbers because her number sense above ten is a little low. I think this could be improved by having her complete these kinds of activities..."
What I end up doing to stay out of trouble and live with myself: both.
