What’s your least favorite aspect about the PSSAs?
Eighth grade teacher Makenzie Negri said, “I think the PSSA’s are like a necessary evil… they show the areas that our students need to improve on, I just wish they were not tied to high stakes funding as well as so much pressure on the kids. I wish it was just for kids to feel comfortable and show us the data that we can learn from. I just don’t like how much pressure they put on you guys and how long they take… there are good and bad parts to both.”
