Test Time

This week the 3rd and 4th graders in our school district are taking the dreaded standardized test. My children, being in 2nd and 5th are not taking a test this week. The 2nd graders aren't tested yet - and for some reason they decided to test the 5th graders in May.

But regardless of when school children take the tests, this song by Tom Chapin really rings true (though in defense of our school, we do have a great music teacher, and they get art once a week as well.)
