[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is only an indicator of how well your student does on an overly rigorous assessment on grade level common core standards. When I say over rigorously, I mean the questions go far beyond the basic skills stated in the standards. The standard could be to solve a multi-step equation, and the test question could involve terms with decimal and fractional coefficients, parentheses, etc. making it the most challenging equation possible.

As a teacher, I don’t think it is a good measure of what a student knows because it doesn’t provide any way of distinguishing between the students who know the foundational skills or the basic level of a standard versus the ones who are beyond proficient.[/quote]

Thus marks the first time in history anyone accused DCPS of being too rigorous. Thank you. It was a tough morning in my household; I needed a laugh.[/quote]

You’re not making the joke you think you’re making because DC did not make the PARCC the test. It was used nationally when it was first released and literally every other state using it dropped it before DC did because it wasn’t good. [/quote]
