Nerves and anxiety were running high here last night and this morning. It’s the writing portion of the FSA today – a timed portion of standardized testing – and timed tests are not her friend.
She has a cast on the hand that she uses to write and has to type her test today, something that she doesn’t do well. She also hates essay writing and was terrified that she might fail.
She was told that this test would determine her placement in middle school. Middle school y’all! Something no kid should have to worry about, especially since it’s over a year away. She’s only in 4th grade!
