I'm not totally sure what to think of the WASL.  One reason for my uncertainty is that educators have mixed feelings about it.  When I talk to my teacher friends in the Tahoma School District, they normally support the test.  On the other hand, my teacher friends in Seattle Public schools normally have negative feelings about the WASL.  ????????????????

i  think the wasl is just stupid because there is not point of it really because half of the students in seattle cant past that test. the school board keeps changing the rules about the test that the class of 2008 didnt have to pass the wasl but now the class of 2008 has to pass the wasl the wasl is just a waste of time baiscally
