I have to use prepared materials and tests whether I like them or not, and many of them are good at assessing what my students have learned in some aspects. Because I have to do things in ways I do not always think are good, it has become a challenge for me to overcome. I do that by adding to what I have to do with what I like to do. Even though it means more work, it helps my stress because I know that students are learning what they need, rather then what the main office thinks they need.
