[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As for this "OMG the tests!" -- I was in elementary school in the late-1970s-1980s and we had tests like this every year, then, too. Stanford Achievement Tests, anyone? [/quote] No. NOt the same. Those tests were validated and tested. Teachers evaluations did not depend on them-nor did the school depend on its life based on those tests. [/quote] These tests have been validated and tested too. In fact, my child's school participated in the testing of the PARCC tests last year. The school-test results relationship is the result of the federal No Child Left Behind Act and has nothing to do with the Common Core standards. The idea of tying teacher performance evaluations to test results also has nothing to do with the Common Core standards.[/quote] Describe how they are valid, in detail. You realize your child likely failed the test, right? [/quote]
