I can remember getting a cold sweat as a kid in school when it was test time. It wasn’t that I didn’t know the information, but like a lot of students, I just struggled taking tests. With ISTEP underway throughout Indiana, many students feel the pressure, which in some cases causes quite a bit of anxiety. Thankfully a teacher in Whiteland, Indiana wrote a caring letter to her students at Harshman Middle School. It was filled with encouragement, something that’s missing from our culture these days. The anonymous teacher’s letter actually brought one student to tears, because he was happy. ISTEP has been a controversial test for several years for many reasons, and could soon be a thing of the past, replaced with a new one.
