Brevard County Students will be Taking the FCAT

Students in Brevard County schools will start FCAT testing today. The math and reading parts of the test will be administered to grades three through ten.  Fifth, eighth and tenth graders will also be required to take the science portion of the test.

The FCAT, Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test is used to determine whether schools are teaching the required course materials.  It is an assessment of accountability and it measures each school's grade.  It is also used to determine whether a child will be promoted to the next grade.

Brevard students have historically received top scores on the FCAT, compared to other school districts across the state.

Sandy the government thinks if they throw money at each school district then the scores will go up.  I think you know it's the parenting and discipline that makes these scores stay up.  My daughter actually went to the lowest performing school in our area (which is still pretty good) and received a scholarship to LSU.  If it hadn't been for my wife and I keeping her in line she would have went another way.

And MacDonalds' was offering some free breakfasts!  Rumor has it that the FCAT program may not be here much longer.

John, Great point and great job to you and your wife. I agree, you've got stay on your students and expect the best from them. It really is all about parenting, isn't it?  Sounds like your daughter is a hard worker.

Paul, I'll tell you, I've seen some of the questions on the practice FCAT test and oh my goodness - some are really tough!  I'm not sure that some adults would be able to pass the test. 

Lou, I know there is alot of stress associated with the FCAT.  I remember one year when my girls were in elementary school, the FCAT was being given and there were over 50 students that were out with the stomach flu.  Hmm. 

Ann, Oh, yeah, great fun, right?

Gabe, We weren't able to get to McDonalds for free Egg McMuffins and Apple Dippers. I hope they do away with the FCAT. I don't think it should be used as a make or break situation. It should be used as a benchmark to see where a student is having problems, not as as a pass or fail.
