No More Time Change?
The state of Georgia no longer wants to continue daylight savings.
By: TaMiyah Gordon
3/21/21
Georgia has proposed to stop daylights saving after this year. According to Wikipedia Daylight savings time is “the practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that darkness falls at a later clock time.” In other words Daylight savings time gives us an extra hour in the winter and takes away an hour during the spring. This could be a very controversial thing for Georgia to do because our time will be different than other states' times.
Some citizens in Georgia feel that it would be better to stop daylight saving time because the time change disrupts their sleep schedule. According to Fox 5 News speaker Diane Shackelford states,”We have trouble going to sleep at night because it’s light outside and we have trouble waking up in the morning because it's dark outside.” In other words some people feel that if the time stays the same throughout the year it can have more benefits. Keeping time the same could cause Georgia to have to adjust some things for example the airport. According to Fox 5 news, “There would be minor modifications to departure times for some overnight international flights, but the effect on operations would be negligible,” Since every state isn’t changing daylight saving Georgia’s airport would have to work out ways for their flights to work with people coming in and out of the airport.
Many people might have different opinions about changing daylights saving but the final decision is up to the U.S Congress. We won’t know what will happen until their decision is made.

Pack Attacks Hunger!
By: Victoria Davis, 4/13/21
Woodland High School’s National Honors Society is hosting a food drive to collect canned goods and non-perishable food items. The program is called “Pack Attacks Hunger” and the deadline for food donations is May 10th.
The National Honors Society at Woodland High School is asking for donations of canned goods and non-perishable items from its students. They’ve partnered with a local food bank called “Helping In His Name” to gather their goal of 1,000 cans by the deadline of May 10th. Students in person are able to put their donations in the boxes in the main office, commons, media center, and scattered around the school, and virtual students may drop off their donations to the front office.
The National Honors Society and its sponsors wanted to find a way to aid the community, and determined that a fitting way to do this would be to host a food drive. With the way that COVID-19 has affected our community and made it more difficult for certain families to provide enough food for themselves, the NHS hopes to be able to give back to our local community through donations and to assist those who may need it.

Texas has Snow!
Texas sign with ice over it
By:Christian Karnowski
A rare event that has not been seen in a very long time just happened this winter in America. It is that Texas had over 6 inches of snow, and Texas hasn't had snow in about 10 years. Some people think that this snow storm was due to global warming. Other people think that it was just a natural phenomenon, I believe that it was a mix of both. I asked one of my aunts that lives in Houston what she thought about it and she said, “ I don't know what it was from maybe global warming, maybe just a crazy event. All I know about it is that I did not like it!” I also asked my cousin who lives in Texas and he said, “ I think that it was crazy that that happened but it was pretty cool to see. The only thing about it was that it was freezing cold that I did not like. Another thing about this snow storm is that there were over 200 car accidents and two people died in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It was a real tragedy for them having snow they really weren't expecting it. nobody knows what it is going to be like next year. Hopefully it is normal but knowing these last few years it probably won't.

A Truly Smooth Transfer of Power
A picture of the nation's capital on the historical day.
By: Ja’Veon Jones
On the 20th of January, the world watched as America welcomed our new president Mr. Joe Biden into office in the presidential inauguration. After the bad start to the year this was one of the many things that brought back joy to people's years, hoping that the new president will do better than the last.
Inauguration has been a historical event since 1789 when America elected its first president George Washington. It has been a tradition, for every 4-8 years, for over 232 years. Which is a very long time. Of course, it has changed since then, but it's still an old tradition which has been happening since the establishment of this country.So, what happened on the day of January 20, 2021.
In the moments before the event started, many people had arrived to witness the important moment. Newly Elected Senators Raplhel Warnock and Jon Osoff, Representatives like Nancy Polosi, Former Presidents Obama, Bush, and Clinton, and also surprisingly Vice President ( now former vice president) Mike Pence came to the event. During the event it contained performances by J Lo, Lady Gaga, and Garth Brooks. Speeches were given by Senators and Representatives and the moment everyone was there for the President elect ( now president) Joe Biden and Vice President elect ( now vice president) take the oath into office and the new president's speech in which he said “ Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy…”.The after ceremony involved a visit to Arlington National Cemetery, a “parade across America” and a celebratory ceremony with more celebrity guests, which ended with fireworks, while coincidently Katy Perry was singing Firework.
So was this a smooth transfer of power according to Beth Gordon a teacher at Woodland High and many news officials, the answer is yes. The day was pretty well, especially with there being no mention of the former president at all.

10 year old kid wins big on Gamestop stocks
Recent Gamestop stock market surges

By: Bradley Bonner
Many people all over the world are participating in the stock market. 10 year old Jaydyn Carr of San Antonio made over $3000 on shares from Gamestop. In December of 2018 when Jaydyn was only 8 years old his mom bought him about 10 Gamestop shares. Jaydyn didn't really know how the stock market worked but all his mother told him was that one day this will pay off.
Many people might not know how the stock market works like 10 year old Jaydyn Carr. According to www.nerdwallet.com it states “Stocks are listed on a specific exchange, which brings buyers and sellers together and acts as a market for the shares of those stocks. The exchange tracks the supply and demand — and directly related, the price — of each stock.” The stock market can be a high risk High reward type of deal for example, if you buy a stock for $100 and the price then goes down you lose your money. Although if you purchase a stock that's $40 and the price goes up then you make money.
There are many different methods or ways you can make money off of in the stock market although the most interesting method to me is short selling. According to www.marketwatch.com is states “short-selling is when an investor borrows shares and immediately sells them, hoping he or she can scoop them up later at a lower price, return them to the lender and pocket the difference.” Most people see this tactic as risky but others see it as very profitable and convenient.
The big question is why did the Gamestop stocks increase in price. A part of the reason this particular stock went up was because multi billionaire Elon Musk put a tweet out on twitter that stated “Musk simply tweeted "Gamestonk!!" Musk's tweet helped extend the short-squeeze, sending GameStop's stock surging another 157% when the market reopened the following morning.” This made the world go crazy and want to purchase Gamestop shares and in result Jaydyn Carr who had 10 shares made over $3000.
This can explain how the stock market works. This also shows how 10 year old Jaydyn Carr made over $1000 on only 10 shares. Although the stock market can go up and down it can pay off if you are patient and sell your stocks at the right time.

Aliens or Marketing Stunt? The Story of THE MONOLITHS.
A photo of the utah monolith found on November 18th. Courtesy of Wikipedia
By: Ja’Veon Jones
For the past couple of months or so mysterious monoliths have been appearing around the world, but are these metal, triangular structures real?
Well, the fist monolith came about on November 18th of 2020, when a helicopter team with the Utah Department of Public Safety spotted it in a canyon not too far from Moab, Utah. The structure since then has attracted a lot of attention, until its removal by environmentalists on the 27. Two days later another is found in Romania looking the same as the others until its disappearance. Then a day later yet another is found in California, Until its disappearance. Over the course of a week already three monoliths have appeared and disappeared, but it doesn't stop there 3 days later two monoliths are found both in the Netherlands and in the Isle of Wight, Uk. Also, in those 3 days, an artist group took credit for only four monoliths, the ones in Utah, Romania, California, and the Netherlands.
The NY post asked The owner of The Most Famous Artist if they are responsible for the Uk Monolith and he responds “ The monoliths are out of my control at this point, Godspeed to the all aliens, working hard around the globe to propagate the myth”. So were all the monoliths created by this group. Is the owner of this company really telling the truth? Who knows, but over the past couple of months, fake or not over 202 have been identified, some have been confirmed knock-offs and some are real mysteries. What I do know is It’s kinda fun to track them and look at the world flip out over something so small though. I guess everyone needed a break to get out of some turmoil that 2020 has brought upon us.

Teacher of the Year
Woodland High Schools 2020-2021 Teacher of the Year!!
By: TaMiyah Gordon

Every year Woodland High School choses a teacher of the year but this year our teacher of the year wasn’t celebrated at school due to Covid-19. Teacher of the year is given to the teachers who go above and beyond for their students and school. This year Woodland High Schools Teacher of the year was Mrs.Kendrick. Mrs Kendrick teaches 10th grade geometry and 11th grade Honors Algebra 2.
Mrs.Kendrick has been teaching for fifthteen years but has worked at Woodland for six years. When asked how she felt about winning teacher of the year she said, “I was shocked, surprised and honored.” Mrs. Kendrick in her own words says she is a very to herself teacher and goes above and beyond to assist her students but didn’t feel like she was being noticed. For the school to recognize the hard work and dedication she gives to her students she was very honored for that. Since this was her first time winning Mrs. Kendrick’s husband and some of the other faculty members had a surprise for her. Due to Covid-19 the administrators could not celebrate at school so Mrs. Kendrick’s husband took her out to dinner and had the faculty members gather at the restaurant to surprise and celebrate her there.
Congratulations to Mrs.Kendrick for winning Teacher of the Year and thank you for your wonderful teaching and dedication to your students.

By: TaMiyah Gordon
12/2/20
Since the start of quarantine students have had to adjust to their new lives at home. For some students this has been a difficult time adjusting to this change. They are not used to staying home all the time. Being at home with nothing to do can really mess with someone’s mental health.
These past few months have been a very challenging time. With Covid-19 student’s haven’t been able to do the things they once were able to like going to school or even seeing their friends. The article “Addressing Teen Mental Health During the Pandemic” states, “We know that social isolation and loneliness is linked with poorer mental health and higher rates of depression and anxiety. Surveys from early on in quarantine were already showing that more than one-third of adolescents were experiencing high levels of loneliness.” This shows that a lack of social interaction can lead to a decline in mental health.
An anonymous source states,”Since the start of quarantine I have felt very lonely, sometimes I feel all my friendships are changing.” Sometimes being away from your friends for a long amount of time can make a person feel that their friendships could end. The article also states,” Mental health concerns among adolescents can look like: heightened arousal, mood changes, anxiety, worry, depression, lack of motivation, apathy about school and disrupted sleeping and eating.” These are some ways to tell if a student is starting to suffer from depression. I can agree with this because I haven’t had any motivation for school lately and it has been really difficult to focus and do school work.
This has been a very difficult time for everyone. It is important that the students who are going through something right now know that everything will be ok and that they can get through this difficult time.

A Student’s Perspective: Online vs Regular school
Students have their own opinion on which is better
By: TaMiyah Gordon
2/25/21
With Covid-19 still being around students now have the option of going to school or doing remote learning. Every student has their own opinions and reasons why they chose to either go back to school or continue remote learning. Everyone learns in a different way and student’s know what is best for their learning.
When asked, an online student named Jorden said,”I like online school better because I’m in the comfort of my own home and I feel that I can work at my own pace.” Online students also said that some cons of online school is that they can’t see their friends and that their connection can go in and out. With a lot of people still doing remote learning it could still be difficult to be in the Meet and have a good connection. A student that attends school named Caniya stated, “School is better because I learn better in front of a teacher.” For some students it’s difficult to learn online because they can’t learn from a computer screen. Regular students also said,”A con of regular school is that there are not a lot of people that go to school now.” With Covid still being very serious many students and parents fear going back to school because they could catch the virus.
Every student has a different reason as to why they prefer either. It all depends on how they learn and what they do better with.

The wonders a parent’s touch can do

All children grow up with different children, do you wonder how much their impact can be?
By: Symone Harrison
2/25/21
A child needs a certain structure to grow up as we say “normal”. When it’s not provided the child can have a lot of underlining, sometimes hidden problems. Have you questioned yourself on the reason you responded or reacted a certain way? In this article we will be discussing the way a child was raised, which can have an enormous impact on the child’s future life.
The proper role of the parent is to provide support, encouragement, and be involved in daily tasks. A parent is their child's first teacher and should remain their best throughout their life. Sometimes we wonder why we are treated a certain way or question the involvement of your parents in your life. Parents have many styles of parenting, but not all of them are best for children. Bad parenting can lead a child down a long spiral of destruction in their behavior. In a video by psych2go they had said “Authoritative parents tend to have high levels of both demand and responsiveness for their child. They expect you to behave well while also providing you sufficient support at the same time. Which makes the child likely to come more independent and empathetic.” The relationship between a child and their parents does a lot to shape a child’s life, even after they enter adulthood. In some cases, these relationships are loving and nurturing, and the child grows up to be a confident, secure, and empowered adult.
In a reference from the CDC data and statistics on children health has said “Children who do not develop a healthy coping mechanism or sharing of the feelings like sadness, grief, anger, and loneliness, can easily lead you to develop depression.” Children learn how to cope and express feelings through their parents. When children have parents, they feel comfortable expressing themselves to help with their coping skills, because children are not bottling all those feelings up into one. Children learn to express themselves, but when they cannot express themselves, all the emotions they keep subdued can cause them to explode, and all those feelings and emotions come crashing down on them all at once, and sometimes can cause panic, anxiety, and depression attacks.
A person's love style is a specific pattern of behavior related to how they receive and express love and is largely modeled after a relationship with our parents. Whether you are the pleaser, the victim or the controller, your upbringing is largely responsible for that. There are many types of love styles which all are developed on the way our parents interacted and the attention they gave us. Some children can benefit in a negative household too, because they learn from their parent’s mistakes and learn what is right.
There are parents who are very controlling and lack giving affection/care to their child, which results in the child becoming a more independent, dominant type of love style. They become overbearing, controlling in a way such as their parent’s treatment. I’ll use myself as an example, I was raised where there was love and care in the household, but bias to who received it, and how. My parents had/have high standards for me, and it felt like constant weight on my shoulders to please them for the love and attention I’d get if I did right. By me growing up that way, it made me become a people pleaser, wanting to do anything just to make that person happy or for their reaction. Me learning that about myself benefited me in a way. See, becoming self-aware can help develop into the person you truly want to be, but that’s another article for another day.
The relationship between a child and their legal guardian is very vital. Lack of affection and attention can become very detrimental to the child’s upbringing. Also, it leads to emotional trauma which can cause childhood depression, anxiety, and other illnesses. The love we receive from our parents is more likely to be the love we give off to others, they are our ultimate mentor.

By me growing up that way, it made me become a people pleaser, wanting to do anything just to make that person happy or for their reaction. Me learning that about myself benefited me in a way. See, becoming self-aware can help develop into the person you truly want to be, but that’s another article for another day.
The relationship between a child and their legal guardian is very vital. Lack of affection and attention can become very detrimental to the child’s upbringing. Also, it leads to emotional trauma which can cause childhood depression, anxiety, and other illnesses. The love we receive from our parents is more likely to be the love we give off to others, they are our ultimate mentor.

At Woodland High school we have a total of five bosses.The first boss is Dr.Shannon Ellis.Woodland High School has had Dr.Ellis as the principal since 2016.Before being the head boss she has most definitely grown within herself and her career through Woodland High School.The next that would be in charge is Mr.F. Mr.F has been around Woodland High School for some time.At the high school he has served 8 years with doing his duties. Here at Woodland he is the disciplinary principal from students with the last name H through O.The third administrator is Tonya Holmes.Ms.Holmes shares here duties with Mr.F and Mr Howard by being the disciplinary principle as well.Holmes was ask to take the place as a administrator in July of 2010.The fourth boss is Jameel Howard.Mr.Howard is contribute with Woodland by serving as a another disciplinary principle.The last but not least boss is Ms.Heather McCormick, “Floyd.Ms.McCormick serves as the educational principle at Woodland High School.”
These bosses are the best at what they do.They make sure that everything is working and is going right.Ms. Holiday wanted to do something special for Bosses Day.She answered with “Boss day (Oct. 16th, 2020) took place in the Media Center around 11:00 AM.”When Ms. Arnold was asked about the activities that the administrators do, she said.," “The administrators took photos beside Mrs. Fox’s yard signs. That was displayed in front of the school.”The third question I came up with was Who came up with the idea of boss day at Woodland High School? She replied “I came up with the setup and menu.”The last question I asked Ms.Holiday was could other people come to their day besides them? She said, “Boss day was only for the administrators. No one else was invited.”From what it seems like it sounds to be an interesting day and having fun with their peers was executing even though we are still under COVID-19 procedures.

How Schools have changed Due to COVID-19
This was from the Woodland High School Facebook Page. This was before the virus fully affected everyone, and changed the lives of many people.

We all know what COVID-19 is, and how it has affected and changed many people’s everyday lives since early 2020. It has affected people's jobs, being able to see loved ones, and being able to just be out mose places in general. But how has COVID changed students' school lives since quarantine?
The main focus, is how has coronavirus affected the everyday lives of students and teachers that attend school virtually or face-to-face. Due to many kids having to do virtual classes, they may have bigger disadvantages than those who attend school. For examples; sometimes kids' internet connection can just cut off while in the middle of class, or not work at all. One of the main questions still lingering is, how has all the changes that have been made this school year been affecting teachers?
So, how have teachers been adjusting to all the changes that have been made throughout the 2020-21 school year so far. I decided to interview Mrs. Scudder, a 1st grade teacher, who attends Woodland Elementary School to get her point of view on how she’s been affected by all the changes made this school year.
“What are your thoughts on teaching both online class and face-to-face learning?” I decided to start off with. “It’s been stressful, you have to always be on guard all the time because there is always a problem you need to solve,” she replied back. Following up was, “What are the differences you’ve noticed between this school year and last school.” The teacher stated, “The way we have to teach, the number of students in the building, having to follow a strict protocol, having no physical contact, and most importantly having to wear face masks.” My last question was, “How has this virus affected how students work in school.” She answered, “There’s less engagement in class, and it’s a lot harder to get an accurate gage on mastery, since some kids may tend to get help from parents or from the internet.”
Now that a teacher has given their perspective, how about how this has been affecting students? I decided to see the viewpoint from another student who does virtual classes. Virtual learner, Mackenzie Reid, a 10th grade student, decided to give us her outlook on the changes.
The starting question was, “What are your thoughts on being a virtual student and doing virtual learning?” Answering back, she replied, “I like virtual learning but I wish I didn’t have so much homework to do.” Following from the first question was, “How has virtual learning been affecting you?” She stated, “I feel like being virtual made me less social, so if I were to go back to school in person, I probably wouldn’t talk as much.” Lastly, I ended with, “Since you’re a virtual student, how has all the hours of sitting on a computer for hours doing school work affected you?” “Since I do virtual school I’m basically on technology all day, and sometimes being on a screen all day makes my eyes really tired,” She responded with.
As we can see, the virus has changed our school lives and made us see it in a new perspective. There have been many problems that have occurred whether it’s been a teacher or a student, but we all seem to be able to be flexible enough to solve them.

One-Act Competition Prep Starts After Months of Delay due to Covid

October 23, 2020
Woodland High School’s drama department is putting on a one-act play called “Taboo” in early 2021. Taboo is a fun show about a high school just like ours, except this school has an odd dress code, more like a color code. All students must wear a particular color depending on the grades they earn in their academic classes. Many find these rules unfair but are too afraid to stand up to the infamous Security Committee, also known as the SC. The SC intends on keeping these rules set while a select group of students has other plans. “Taboo” will showcase the talents of Olivia Martin as Syl, Brianna Lowe as Jenny, Dontravelis Allen as Mike, Maya Ash as Kendra, Brie Dinkins as Georgia, Kristyn Foran as Ariana, Demarri Johnson as Wesley, Shelby Brooks as Carol, Aubrey Chestnutt as Roger, and Autumn Portis as Beth.
Auditions were held in the drama room on Tuesday, October 20, 2020, and October 22, 2020. Five people showed up to the Tuesday audition. Upon arriving at the auditions, Ms. Manson, the choir director, took extra precautions by taking the temperature and asking short questions of the people who were auditioning. Doing this ensured that everyone would be safe and that the auditions would run smoothly. Each actor had to perform a thirty-second to a minute long monologue. This proved to be a bit more difficult while wearing a mask. After performing their selected monologues, the actors were handed sides from the show. Sides are the words that the characters say. To decide who everyone would best play, actors were given various sheets of sides and were asked to read as different characters from Taboo.
One of Woodland’s Drama Department regulars, Shelby Freshwater, picked the show and is codirecting it alongside Ms. Manson. Being a senior this year, this will be her last show at Woodland High School. It should be acknowledged that she is a great contributor to this program and is always supportive of fellow castmates. “I’ve been very lucky to have lots of guidance and help from other drama teachers in the county, and other resources to be as useful as I can for this task, along with Shelby being such a strong co-director.” Ms. Manson stated. While Shelby will not be in the show this year, she will leave her mark.
When asked if she knows the students who often audition, Manson said while she does know most of the students, there’s always one or two that she doesn’t. She always loves to see the Pack Productions regulars but “it’s always so exciting when new people want to join the program!” She also expressed that she anticipated about seven to ten auditioning this year. There are many parts of the theatre behind the scenes. “There were many others who did not audition but wish to do tech (building sets, sound, and lights, all the behind the scene things) and be background actors!”
After former theatre arts teacher and director, Mrs. Reynolds left Woodland High School, Mrs. Manson took it upon herself to keep Pack Productions on its feet. This was something that might have been too much for someone who also has to teach students music for an upcoming concert but not her. “As a WHS alum, when I went here our drama program was dissolved and I didn’t want the same thing that happened to many of my friends to happen to my students,” Manson said when asked about taking over drama. This decision made a lot of students who were saddened about no longer being able to go to Theatre class every day hopeful!
“Taboo” will be an experience that has you wondering what’s next? “There are a lot of twists and turns along the way.” Ms. Manson expressed. There may be characters you’re secretly rooting for. You may laugh and you may be infuriated. You never know until you see Taboo!

The Wonderful World of Movies is on Hold Amidst Coronavirus Pandemic

Movie theatres used to be filled with many people and families.

The movie industry has not been the same since the world turned upside down. This year is not like the others and that has been made very clear over the last few months. Things that we usually took for granted are not as accessible anymore. Going to the movies is a perfect example. It is activity that many people of all ages enjoy but since the country was placed on quarantine, no one could smell the warm scent of buttered popcorn and find the perfect seat in the theatre. Not only moviegoers suffered though. What about the film industry? Actors and directors worked hard to get these movies out and now had to find alternate ways for people to see them.
An article by Ryan Faughnder on Latimes.com expressed that one of the largest cinema operators, AMC Theatres, lost five-hundred sixty-one million dollars as everything was shut down due to Covid 19 pandemic. This article was written in August of this year. Movie theatres are still not open for business. There’s no doubt that the amount of money lost increased over the months. When I interviewed someone who enjoys movies, they expressed that “movie theatres can’t get as revenue because they are closed” I suspect that as soon as it is safe to live normally again, movies will be filled with customers eager to do the thing they missed out on for so long.
Most people have been watching movies since they were young. I asked my sister what the first movie they recall seeing was and they said “the Dragon Tales movie.” This is not too far of a stretch because they were a child and children can get captivated by the fantasy of mythical creatures. Many small children enjoy going to the movies. Whether it be to see their favorite princess or superheroes, everyone has a good time!
Movies also can have an emotional impact on viewers. “Love, Simon was a movie that left a long lasting print on me. While it was more geared towards straight people, it was nice to see an LGBT person as the main character.” Seeing people that you relate to on screen can really make you feel that you belong and have a place in this world.
Different genres are wildly popular in this franchise and many types of movies have been released this year. It’s disappointing this year as many highly anticipated movies have been placed on hold due to the growing pandemic. As someone who is a big fan of the horror genre, I was highly disappointed when I learned that the next installment in “The Conjuring” universe was pushed back until next year. When we all see the day of no longer having to wear masks and social distancing, movies and all other things we enjoy will be just as they were. It may take some time to get used to living normal again because we’ve been in this state for so long but we as a whole can do it. We survived through an almost year long epidemic.

EOC Weight Changes Across Georgia Schools
The grading chart for the EOC’s/exams for the previous year at Woodland High School.
By: Victoria Davis, 1/25/21
The Georgia State Board of Education held a meeting discussing the EOC tests and their weight on a student’s final grade on December 21st, and determined that the weight of the EOC tests would be changed for the 2nd semester of the 2020-2021 school year to lessen the negative impact that it would have on students this year.
On December 21st, the Georgia State Board of Education determined that for the 2nd semester of the 2020-2021 school year, student’s classwork average would determine how much their EOC weighs on their grade, instead of their EOC’s holding the typical 20% weight on their grade as it has the previous years. Should a student score higher on their EOC than what their classwork average is, their EOC score will count for 20% of their final grade to assist that student’s overall average. Should a student score lower on their EOC than what their classwork average is, the EOC score will instead only count for 0.01% of their final grade instead of the normal 20%. These changes affect those who are in EOC courses, specifically Biology, Algebra 1, American Literature, and U.S. History.
The question of how this change will affect Woodland High School was answered by Ms. McCormick, Woodland High School’s assistant principal. She believes that it will help students bring their grades up, as the negative impact is minimal, but also worries that newer students coming into the school, such as freshmen, won’t fully understand how the scoring for the EOC tests would truly affect their grade without these weight changes. Ms. McCormick also worries about the content that’s being tested on, and states that “everything is pared down to the most essential pieces,” worrying that students, most notably those who are taking a course for their career path, won’t have the essential knowledge needed for that course due to how little is being taught due to the restrictions that many are facing due to COVID.
Ms. McCormick also states that the weight change is not going to change for this school year. “It’s not anything that affects anyone at Woodland, really, there’s only a handful of students who had to take a milestone in December,” and elaborates that there are now only 4 classes instead of 8 that require milestone testing, which cuts down the number of students this change affects. “Because they already had a round of testing in December… they won’t make a change based on that.” She then adds on that what’s to be expected for next year hasn’t been confirmed as of yet. “What happens beyond [this year] and into the next year, that remains to be seen,” and says that at this current point in time, the Board is unable to predict if these changes will carry over into the 2021-2022 school year.
