Students speak out about testing

I talked to some Minneapolis 8th and 9th graders at summer school earlier this week about testing.

At 5:31pm on July 9th, 2008, Nora said…: I don't really want to go to the circus either. Yeah, I'm excited. Have you invited people?
p.s Are you feeling better?

At 3:54pm on July 2nd, 2008, Nora said…: Apparently not years. Are we hanging out on Saturday? Have you ever been to the circus because I was realizing that I haven't.

At 2:17pm on June 19th, 2008, Stacy Becker said…: Annie--Amazing photos from Italy. Congratulations!

At 3:53pm on June 16th, 2008, Nora said…: Dandelion of course. Goodness gracious!

At 8:17pm on June 12th, 2008, Nora said…: I completed and I didn't fall. New York tomorrow! Yew shud reely werk on yer speling.

At 6:58pm on June 5th, 2008, Nora said…: It's actually dandelion, not with an i, an e. Anyway, I can't cause my cousin is getting married on that day so it would be a bit difficult. I'm going to try to go to the next one though. It sounds fun. Yeah, darkroom is over.

At 5:24pm on May 28th, 2008, Nora said…: Dandy as a dandy lion. I don't understand why they call Dandy lions dandy lions. They don't look like lions.
