Testing of kindergarten children opposed recently Dodds administered the standardized achievement lest comprehensive test of Basic skills cubs to kindergarten  problem with standardized achievement tests is that they ignore important Asp cos of the child growth and development. Young children Are not Good lest lakers and the risk of misjudging heir actual learn ing in very High a a result of their performance on inc test children Are being miss Abele As Young develop genially immature not ready Etc. Young children demonstrate their learning in Way that cannot be evaluated by standardized Testa. The most valid evidence of learning comes from careful observation by those who know the child Best the teacher and the parents. Also important Are collections of the child s work and descriptions of daily activities. Standardized group testing of Young children has a unfortunate Side effect in that it pushes Young children too quickly into formal education. Testing Young Chil Dren is unnecessary and easily leads to mistakes. Concerned parents teachers and All those who work with and on behalf of Young children need to speak out against this inappropriate testing of our kindergarten  pit Ricat Ciao Datkyn for Young Uuno Europe a Yak Mainz Tran creditor s note Robert m.

Thank Yon Tor the Opportunity to provide these facts. Let us not forget those men of courage of Devotion to duty As Hal Brave Young american and old. Andrw Juit about Lime for the fourth of july so Many other americans were called upon to make. So Qiu a wow jul i. ._,._ in the years ahead As we celebrate a fourth of july Tyi can remember Back when 1 Wai about 9 or 10 a Earsom Parade in my Hometown of Wakefield a. There would be All the floats High school bands and the men and women in uniform representing those who served their country both proudly and Well. By in those Dayi the Wakefield Parade was one of in most spectacular around and was realty something to see. After the Parade there would be ceremonies held on the common at the memorial to the town s War Veter an. As t listened to the speeches i could not help but remember a Story i had heard for the first time told to me by my fourth Grade teacher mrs. Hams. Mrs. Harris was a great woman an inspiring teacher and just one of the most dedicated women i have Ever met mrs. Harris whose son at the time was being held captive by the North koreans in the now infamous Pueblo incident began her Story by talking about an other woman s son. U was about a Young Man who Hadid Tui Job in a Small town Barber shop in 1917, to go to France with the lamed Rainbow  there Onishe Western front trying to carry a message Between battalions under heavy artillery fire he was killed. She told me that on the body was found a diary. On the Flyleaf under the heading my pledge he had written these words America must win this , i will work i will save i will sacrifice i will endure and i will fight cheerfully and do my utmost Asif the Issue of the whole struggle depended upon me  greater glory Whattl no Man than Hal he malay Down his life for another. With our beloved nation at peace none of us a present i called upon to make that last full measure watching a Parade taking the kids to a Ball game or in family to a picnic let us not forget those men of charac Ter and courage who made such cherished moment pos sible. As 1 look Back and remember i can see All Over again the parades the speeches and the monuments Tomy boyhood heroes. And you know i will always be proud. America will always be proud. She will always be prepared and this we will always defend. Ronald Rosati or. Bun Bent Germany pen pals i u Mvi put fill. By tack Piovera Wtttb-oanwa4idr, m. Up Licy 1. Phi pm.
