National Achievement Test 2012- I

           The conduct of National Achievement Test for Grade 3 is on March 2, 2012 and for Grade 6 on March 8, 2012.I am just confused what I read here about Grades 3 and 4 who shall be taking the test on the date stated above.

         For Grades 3,English, Math , Science and Filipino will be tested, for Grade VI, English, Math, Science, Filipino and Hekasi. The questions are highly constructed. It will really test the pupil's knowledge regarding the topics for each subject. In my 6th Grader class, I have only 39 pupils, with 18 male and 21 female, I could conclude that they belong to an average section.Only 25% of the Class can comprehend well, but not very well. The rest needs more remediation everyday. The sad fact is that I cannot give them the proper treatment after diagnosing their weaknesses because of time constraint. I am handling all 8 subjects in one day and I could say that I cannot have it all!!. I do propose that Grade six should also be given priority . The number of teachers should be consider.Despite it all I continue praying and hoping that we can make it. Miracles do happen everyday. We just have to study harder for the next few weeks. I hope there will be no more interruptions.

         I do recommend that the National Achievement Test shall be given to all Grade Level, not only for Grade 3 and 6 pupils, for how will they able to test the effectivity of teaching - learning experiences of other grade level if they only focus on the two grades. Not all teachers are diligent and honest. Some may just be pretending to be around, but when the administrator is not around, will they retain themselves inside the classroom with their pupils? I just wish that they will. 

          A matter of observation, can lead to an opinion and could arrive at a right conclusion.God bless us and all the teachers who work for the common good, not for the common loan.
