		<description>We don't have that problem in Oregon. Then again, I don't think our state ranks high in test scores either. But at least they get all their classes for the full school year.

&lt;strong&gt;I just wish it wasn't about test scores today.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Annelise still have reading tutoring for another month. At our school AIMS was not so talked about it, just the last 2 weeks they asked us not to make the docs and dentist appointments during that week. All our classes are still going till the last week. We don't feel the end till the final week. I think it may be the school. It seems to me that we still have a lot going on for the rest of the year, I even wonder if we are going to be able to fit all in.
I think that the key is if the school make it a big deal or not.Our is just ok.
hugs

&lt;strong&gt;The administrative focus is huge and of course my sharing what I get here is but a small piece of the puzzle, it just seems like common sense has gone out the window.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I think in some ways foreign countries have a good idea where school is all year round with small breaks throughout the year. Since everything you learn you forget. I know since I was in college recently and had to pull stuff back from highschool 9th grade and i'm like i haven't taken those classes in years or i wish i took xyz class and thre just was never enough time.

&lt;strong&gt;I know what you mean!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>So, they're just preparing for the test during the next 2 months? I'm surprised that the BOE even allows this! Seems like the school year is getting shorter and shorter.

&lt;strong&gt;Sadly, the test is next week and this week they're preparing with sample tests - no homework, no normal schedule.  Seems like a dumb way to prep for success to me but what do I know?  Sadly, the month plus after the test will be a complete bust with no preparation and no stress for learning either.  With all the half days I keep feeling the year get shorter and shorter myself! LOL&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
