Another goof-up in Michigan this year!
By MaryMac

Clip to ScrapBook   
A teacher somehow forgot to send in a lot of tests until it was way too late. I think it was about 1/2 of their 5th graders, maybe more. Now their records say that those students did not take that part of the test for this year. Also, Michigan schools get graded and part of the criteria is that 95% of the students must take the test, if not the school will receive a failing grade. Now I hope you see that in the grand scheme of things, your mistake was pretty small. Testing time can be soooooo stressful, it is no wonder that we make some mistakes. I think your principal was rude and really over reacted. Try not to be too hard on yourself!
