Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Issues around testing and screening for kindergarten readiness include: young children do not function well in common test situations; test results do not necessarily reflect childrens knowledge or skills; tests disregard the potential negative effects of retention on self-esteem; tests may disproportionately affect low-income and minority children; tests are frequently misused and misunderstood by teachers and families; teachers are pressured into running programs that overemphasize testing situations and test items; and most tests focus on cognitive and language skills and have too narrow a focus.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Standardized testing has problems such as labeling too many children as failures, eroding the curriculum by pressuring teachers to teach to the test instead of teaching children, and causing the adoption of inappropriate teaching practices.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
