Formal testing is a compete waste of time in my opinion. Then, why am I going to waste a week testing? My grandson, that I am homeschooling, is afraid of tests. He thinks he cannot do them. Life has many different kinds of tests in many different situations. Most of what I consider the important ones are not formal tests.
One saying is "when the going gets tough; the tough get going". Another that is "Man up". I did not hear either until I was grown. What I heard was "Is that what you are supposed to do," "Then do it".
I am going to do formal testing because my grandson needs to realize he is stronger and smarter than he thinks he is. He needs to overcome his fear of testing and so we will do formal testing. Then, hopefully, when life gives him a test he will be willing to do his best.
