He starts crying and kicking when I tell him free choice time is over and that it is time for math; his behavior has been going on for about one month and is dangerous for both myself and the other students.

As of right now, 13 states drug test welfare recipients. The people who support welfare drug testing have quite a few reasons as to why they think it should happen. One of the biggest reasons I’ve seen as to why the recipients should be drug tested is that it could save taxpayers…

personalities and different ways of learning that works for them. For example, one student may learn better by watching somebody work out a math problem with tangible items, while another student may learn better by hearing someone speak about a topic. Tests like FCAT do not allow students to fully immerse themselves in the learning process, thus making standardized testing more difficult for students who do not necessarily fit the mold of the type-A student good at memorizing a few strategies…

this study is the rationale for using out-of-level testing. There are three main themes to this sections.
