School Haiku

Everyone seems to be thinking in haiku this week so I thought I would join the fun?! Here is mine:

School hurts at age nine
March is now CMT time.
School will hurt Mom more.

For those who do not know what CMTs are, the letters stand for Connecticut Mastery Tests and they are given in all schools for grades 3-8 during the month of March. Every student takes them and every bit of education that has occurred to this point in the school year is geared toward the CMTs. I cannot wait for them to be over....we will have many visits to the health office in the next two weeks (stress and exhaustion) from both students and teachers. And I will have a very tired child at home at the end of the each day.....pray for me.
