[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with the PARCC test? My kids are young, so I don't know much about standardized testing. [/quote] 10 hours long for...8 year olds. Some states go with tests that take 4 or 5 hours to complete. Features a good many poorly written and confusing questions. Much unappealing/dry content. Kids need to be able to type to write an essay, so as much a typing test as an English test in that section. Math is mostly word problems, which clobbers English Language Learners who may be good at math. Pearson Education Inc., which creates the PARCC is a British company raking in hundreds of millions of dollars annually from its US testing market, which doesn't sit well with some American consumers. This one has opted out of the PARCC twice and will do so again at our DCPS in May.[/quote]
