What are the "Common Core" test results? Perhaps you're referring to the test results from the tests mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act, which Congress passed in 2001? [/quote]

These are the standards used for testing in many states.  You know that.  Yes, NCLB requires testing and CC capitalizes on that requirement.

How do the Common Core standards "capitalize" on the testing required by NCLB? States that did not adopt the Common Core standards (Virginia, for example) conduct NCLB testing, just like states that did.

I'm also wondering how test results from tests related to the Common Core standards have been used to "punish" kids.[/quote]

When they come up with 1 or 2s, they are pulled out of their electives, so they can be drilled, drilled, drilled and drilled more so they can pass the tests. Their recesses in K are being limited so they can study, and drill and write their "opinion" pieces. Their class plays are canceled so they can do more work.

It goes on and on and on. And the Common Core standards drive it all.

If little Johnny still can't tell basic parts of speech or add and subtract like the rest of his classmates were already able to do 3 grades prior then you definitely have a pretty big problem on your hands, but instead you've just demonstrated that you just want to sweep it under the carpet rather than bothering to get the poor kid any remedial help...   :roll: [/quote]
