If things are this bad in Louisiana, can you imagine how hard it will be for kids in Massachusetts?

[quote]Of those students taking the computer-based test during the first phase, nearly 70 percent said the test was easier or about the same as their current school work. And, when asked if there were questions about things they have not learned this school year nearly 85 percent said there were none or few questions. Students were also asked about the functionality of the computer-based test and how easy or difficult it was to type their answers. Eighty-seven percent said they had no problems entering their answers; nearly the same percentage said they did not have any difficulty moving back and forth between the passages on the test and that information was easily obtained.[/quote][/quote]

Not surprised that it's easier for most students to take a CBT.  That says nothing about CC, just about how much easier it is to take a test using a computer, rather than coloring in the bubbles. [/quote]

I think you missed this part:
