Some of the teachers need to be more compassionate toward their students.The teacher had an attitude towared myself when i tried to explain that my daughter wasn't feeling well and was in the bathroom. Said that she didn't tolerate kids being late and that my daughter would have detention. Iam not very happy.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Wyoming administered the Proficiency Assessments for Wyoming Students (PAWS) in reading, writing and math to students in grades 3 through 8 and 11, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 11. PAWS tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Wyoming. The goal is for all students score at or above the proficient level.
