[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading up on the issue over the years has helped me make a list of of 2 dozen reasons I'm against PARCC testing. But I'm not against state standardized testing in K-8th per se. I'd be fine with type of standardized tests I took in school as a kid. They were Iowa Basic Skills tests, administered in one morning a school year without students having done any test prep, and without teachers evaluations linked to results, and graded by a non-profit (the Univ of Iowa). Teachers and parents were privy to both questions and answers, and results were returned in two or three months, always before the end of the school year when students took the tests. Those tests worked for me; the PARCC does not.[/quote] These just don't exist anymore, anywhere. Today's Iowa exams for elementary school students are 1/2 day exams given over 5 days. [/quote]
