[quote=Anonymous]Starr doesn't want bad test scores because he'll get booted out. Test scores are very political. They drive real estate prices especially in areas right on the border of a top scoring school and middle level scoring school. Right now the people upset with Starr are the parents of school age children dealing with larger class sizes, the math mess, and 2.0. The rest of the county population doesn't care..BUT..if test scores drop and this affects their house value they will care.

What bothers me so much is the terrible and constant level of dishonesty from this man. He is calling for a 3 year moratorium only to serve his own interests and retool the education to prep kids to do better on the new tests. He could come out an say that the students will not be prepared for the new format and we need 3 years to implement prep for this test. Its a complete lie to say the moratorium has anything to do with being against standardized testing and teaching to the test Its the EXACT opposite. A chance for Starr to save his own behind and get new test prep into the schools. [/quote]
