Worried

Tomorrow is Monday and Mikeys first football game. I am not sure if he will play or not.  If he isn't passing all of his classes he doesn't get to play. He plans to retake a test tomorrow but I don't think it will be enough. It is also upsetting because the class he is failing is a class he wasn't required to take but forced by the school. I hope he gets to play. I know rules are rules but he had a semi rough start upon finding out 2 of his classes were forced by the school. He thought I had put him in them.  Either way it all boils down to the states standardized testing. I don't agree with any of it. I believe those tests are ruining some of our children. I also believe the teachers do nothing but teach material for the test. I think it's good to have a test to show what the kids have learned but they just cram all this crud at them and if they don't pass they get to stress all over again studying. Then if they don't pass the retake they either fail that grade or have to retake the next year. I simply don't agree with the tests. If I knew a way around the test I would and wouldn't force my kid to take this test.
