I have memories of lining up my freshly sharpened 2 pencils, watching the clock and carefully filling in bubbles with the hopes of getting a high score, from as early as fourth grade. As I got older the pressure to do well on these tests, and the frequency of the tests only grew. I was in eighth grade the year Massachusetts began the MCAS, and even though I was among the last of the graduating classes that were not required to pass to receive my diploma, I felt as though my future depended on those scores.
