Sam D Shaffer

Q & A: Taking the PAARC: What is it and how is it different from old tests?

• students and teachers from the stress,and to just focus on learning: so no teachersIve met have complained openly. Several kids, though, seemed worried about the impact on teachers if students dont try on the tests. And they didnt think that was fair. Heres 9th grader Sam Shaffer:Sam Shaffer: Its not even graded on us and doesnt affect us much. Even our teachers - if theres one or two kids that dont try on the test because it doesnt affect them itll come back on the teachers and theyll get fired, so I think the tests may weigh too heavily on that.Teachers likely wouldn't get fired, but the scores will matter in teacher evaluations, which, over the years, determine if teachers stay or go. And all students aren't like Sam Shaffer. Some are not going to try on these tests.
