"There is a great need for this book!"
-Mary Allan, 2004 California Teacher of the Year
Sometimes tests prove very little and somebody gets left behind even when they're
thinking.
Since standardized testing became a priority for schools, nine-year-old Jeffery
Taylor's academic life has become pure torture. He suffers from a condition called test
anxiety: when he takes a test, his stomach aches, his eyes hurt, he feels like his head
is going to blow up, and, at times, he visibly trembles.
Jeff's active imagination hasn't helped his success at school either-especially if he's
drawing when he's supposed to be working on other subjects. But schoolwork is not
his only problem. His classmate, Matt Huggins, is a real pest, and Jeff and his best
friend, Terry, are growing apart. But Jeff is delighted when he meets a new friend who
helps him to face his academic challenges.
Testing is a tremendous issue in schools today. It can have a lasting effect on funding
as schools balance the need to meet accountability standards with the desire to
provide learning to students. But most importantly, it can result in test anxiety which
has a lasting effect on children. In Nobody Left Behind, author Deanna Enos uses
storytelling as an example of how to begin a dialogue between children, teachers, and
parents concerning this important subject.
