Testing Miss Malarkey – Judy Finchler

High stakes testing has become part of the culture of public education.  Testing Miss Malarkey pokes fun at the test obsessed culture that sadly has permeated so many schools.   Although Miss Malarkey assures the students that “THE TEST” is not important, what the students are experiencing at school tells a very different story – Multiplication Mambo at recess and brain food being served in the cafeteria.  At home things are equally odd with mom demanding that a main idea worksheet be completed after a bedtime story.  Ultimately, it seems all of the adults are very concerned about “THE TEST”.
