[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe they moved away from standard testing to make the schools more equitable, no? Not all kids can afford test prep. [/quote] The Walls test was not one anyone prepped for. That said, I don't think a test the kids take one morning should be dispositive in terms of admission. I do think getting rid of the 'test AND the PARCC score' qualifier in favor of teacher recommendations is a GIANT step in the wrong direction, though.[/quote] Thank you; I wasn't aware that it wasn't a test with available prep. We're new to DCPS this year, coming from DC private schools where many kids have consultants and go through major test prep.[/quote]
