[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PARCC put way too much emphasis on reading. Some of the 7th grade questions were really, really hard. Students would have to compare two unrelated texts and infer information about a third topic. Staff and students just looked at it in confusion. The Common Core standards are the reason though. They demand very high expectations from students, that are not reasonable for the vast majority. If a student is not a very strong reader at least one or two grades above average, the test is a painful struggle.[/quote] 7th grade ELA results were at the top this past testing year. just food for thought Keep in mind that ELA tests also include questions related to historical, scientific and technical documents. So unless the schools realize that teaching literacy is a cross-curricular responsibility, scores won't jump.[/quote]
