I have decided to teach "test-taking techniques" and address the 
specific language situation in class.  I've riled up the kids so that 
they feel as if this is a challenge and they intend to "beat it."  We 
are not so much teaching the test but teaching techniquest that will 
help them throughout standardized testing which they will encounter 
throughout their lives.  My kids told me they want to do so well that 
their scores are qeustioned like Jaime Escalante's scores in STAND AND 
DELIVER.  I got quite a kick out of that.  These skills are going to 
be our Friday Fare and hopefully will increase their confidence.  I'm 
still open to any and all ideas concerning this standardized test 
dilemma.  Especially looking for someone to suggest ideas that has had 
some good results.
Gee, why doesn't somebody get Jaime Escalante on-line?
Just think what we could do with that resource!
