I teach 6th and 7th grade students in a school in New York. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, the student attend test prep sessions for the NY State exams.

The students at my school come in behind grade level after attending years of sub par elementary education. My school is excellent, and we work very hard to give the kids a quality education. In fact, we've seen many student move up by several grade levels. We do what we can, but when they graduate most will go to underfunded, understaffed high schools where they won't be able to take advantage of the progress they've made.

The students spend hours each week preparing for state exams. I would love to have the students prepare for the SHSAT, the admissions test for New York's magnet high schools. This would kill two birds with one stone, because I'd be teaching them the test taking skills they need for the state exams and I'd be specifically preparing them for admission to a high quality high school.

My students deserve the best, and I do everything to make sure they get exactly that during the years when they are in my school. This is an opportunity to make sure they get the best through high school and beyond.
