[quote=Anonymous]http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2013/10/31/a-ridiculous-common-core-test-for-first-graders/?tid=pm_pop It links to an 1st grade exam that is completely ridiculous. The editorial (by a NY elem. school principal) talks about how the Common Core tests are created by a company named Pearson which seem to have the market cornered to have schools buy prepping material. However, the standards were not carefully thought out and there was no attempt to make sure these skills are age appropriate. Take a look at this test. The questions seem horribly written to me. http://roundtheinkwell.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/the-math-test.pdf Any parents in this area come across tests as bad as this? Is this a problem in MD/VA/DC as well? [/quote]
