[quote=Anonymous]I agree, but as long as ESSA requires the states and DC to force students to take a standardized test in HS, aren't teens better off taking a test they're highly motivated to do well on, regardless of who's making money off it? And aren't they better off taking a test most were going to take anyway, before completing college applications, rather than a test which adds to their test-taking burden? I'd much rather see the College Board making money off my Wilson, Walls or Banneker student than a textbook company like McGraw-Hill. They test on content from their textbooks in the PARCC - call it the textbook-school industrial complex. If I had my ruthers, the DoE wouldn't exist, other than to dole out bonuses to states where lots of poor and SpEd kids score high on SAT or the ACT. I remember the Nixon and Carter Administration years, when the states did well without the DoE. As you may know, the DoE didn't exist until 1979. [/quote]
