    Letters to the Editor...
    Student Burnout

    I do think burnout is an issue. In my
    state, 3rd graders are state tested in
    Communication Arts and Science. Fourth
    graders are tested in Math and Social
    Studies. These are not the old multiple
    choice tests - but quite difficult (in my
    opinion) constructed response and essay
    type questions. It seems to me that our
    school spends so much time getting in the
    Science and Social Studies at a young age
    (to pass these state tests) that we are not
    doing our students an adequate service in
    Reading, Writing, and Math. I think that a
    lot of the frustration I see comes from not
    having the basic skills needed to be
    successful in the intermediate grades (and
    higher of course). This especially hurts
    those who struggle to begin with. I think
    we are trying to teach too much too young.
    Just my opinion.
