2nd Hour: 5 students with their heads on the desk during the test at one point. Many students finish their portion of the test in less than 5 minutes.
3rd Hour: 3 students with their heads on the desk despite all my efforts to get them up. All 3, DC, TB and ML, did the same thing yesterday. They obviously are not taking this test as seriously as the powers that be in the district administration expect them to. Another student, JB, also puts her head down. Normally, JB is a good student, but the test has tired her out or bored her to sleep. I don't know what I can do.
4th Hour: This is the AP class, yet even here, I have to go to a couple of students and get them going on this test.
6th Hour: The problem here is mainly students talking and carrying on. It's the female students this time. But there are a couple of napping students: CB and AH.
It is nearly impossible for teens to remain silent and/or alert as they need to do during high stakes testing. This type of testing goes against nearly every characteristic of adolescents.
