Best of Luck Student (and Teachers) taking ACT test today

act-exam-stress-mobileI dropped my son off at high school today to take his ACT test. There was more than a half a dozen teachers that were in line holding pencils getting ready to take the college preparatory test. I am impressed by these teachers who have been willing to sit for this assessment in hopes of scoring in the 80th percentile so that they may in part qualify for the Florida Best and Brightest Scholarship merit pay bonus the state of Florida’s legislators allocated this year. The State legislate chair allocated $44 million for teachers to receive bonuses on scores they took for a college preparatory test.

I wish them all the very best of luck!!
