Parents, educators: Please read and share:

"I am a third grade teacher. Today I had to give the interim SBA ELA performance task.

 I couldn't believe how hard the test was. I was a fourth-grade teacher for many years and this seemed equally as difficult as the fourth grade test. The directions were confusing, very long, and the tasks expected of the kids demanded organizing and processing parts and pieces in their head. 

Another third grade teacher typed a part of the directions into two readability programs. The directions came out between 6.9 and 8.4 GLE readability. ðŸ˜£" - Anonymous Third Grade Teacher
