As news came down from Nashville that the Tennessee General Assembly had struck a deal Thursday that would ensure students, teachers and districts would not be held accountable for this year’s TNReady results, Hamilton County school board members said they were disappointed in the testing process.
Hamilton County School officials confirmed Thursday that some schools and students experienced problems on the fourth day of testing.
“Is this what’s best for our students? No. Is this what’s best for our teachers? No,” said board member Kathy Lennon, of District 2.
Board member Tiffanie Robinson of District 4 echoed Lennon’s thoughts.
“The kids have been working their butts off,” Robinson said. “It’s so disappointing that this is the third year in a row we’ve been having these problems.”
