Teachers reported moderate to major concerns prior to 2015 state testing

Hey, all. How is it going? I saw this today. Thought it might be worth sharing.

Prior to the first round of K-12 standardized testing under Common Core education standards last year, most teachers had moderate to major concerns about test difficulty and low student performance, according to new studies from the RAND Corporation.

Duh, right?

Duh indeed. Kids these days, I swear.

Kidding aside, this probably reflects more on bad nutrition, excessive distractions, and just a poor overall learning environment. Personally I think giving kids so much screen time when they are very young impairs some of their motor skills and possibly affects their attention spans.

Also, maybe society needs to slow down the pace so that everyone isn't rushing 100% of the time.
