Are these standards too low? It makes me wonder if doing well on these tests really means anything. Another thought about the tests…my fourth grader said there wasn’t one question on division.

I know there isn't really another way to do it, but it is interesting to me that, as homeschoolers, our kids have to be tested in this way. They don't sit at desks in a crowded, quiet room with a teacher standing up front giving directions. That isn't how they learn, how can they be expected to do their best being tested this way? Not complaining, just throwing out a thought. Have one of those 3rd graders…daunting to say the least.
