CMS Teachers Express Frustration Over Mixed Messages During EOG Testing
Teachers at East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, North Carolina, expressed frustration over conflicting instructions regarding motivational posters during end-of-grade (EOG) testing. Initially, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) principals were instructed to remove encouraging posters, which were meant to help students manage testing anxiety. However, the directive was later reversed, allowing the posters to remain. The confusion added to the stress of testing, which was already marred by technical glitches that disrupted the exams.
