Many of the other elementary school teachers I know are not happy. They feel overwhelmed by the paperwork- they hate the way the tests and standards compel them to teach out of text books, and the time for hands on teaching evaporates. Do you have any idea that could be used to evaluate the learning of the students besides these tests? Or Perhaps if testing it kept, a better way to test that would produce useful results without pushing the teachers quite so hard to teach the test/textbook? Tim
