Stress Relief Kits

[Chapultepec23@aol.com]

Dear All,

I just received a half sheet letter from my son's school's PTA (k-6) asking 
for parent volunteers to help make State testing stress relief kits for the 
students.   At this point I have no idea what material would be included in this 
kit.

I'm really appalled by the complacency and the accomodation of putting 
students schoolwide under duress.   Are there other schools or districts doing the 
same?   I've heard of rewarding the students with movies at the end of the 
testing period, etc., and schools in our district contracting motivation speakers 
for this event.   My son has been exempted since k. He is now in fourth grade, 
however, this makes me and my husband believe there should be a lawsuit for 
putting children in emotional harms way.

I appreciate this forum for all the information shared.
Thanks,
Maria Almanzo
