Preparing for STAR Testing

Next week is our Calfornia Standardized Testing week. So, my students are being asked to review for the test by looking at past years questions. Most don't give a rip and are talking instead of going over the questions, even though it is an assignment. I also have heard them say that they don't want to try to do well, because they don't care. Once again, high stakes tests that has ZERO accountability on the Students will not be a good indicator on how much they have learned.
