[quote=Anonymous] [b] Maryland began using Common Core tests in pre-K classes three years ago[/b]. These tests, according to WBAL, aren’t intended to measure how much the kids have already learned; instead, they’re used to measure if the kids are “‘fully ready’ to learn.” Last year, the pre-K tests found that 83% of Maryland kindergartners, ages four to five, were “fully ready.” The sudden drop in the number of “fully ready” kindergartners this year, however, already has many Marylanders worrying. State officials have blamed the Common Core testing standards, stating that program developers changed the standards, between last year and this year, of what a four-year-old or five-year-old knows when he or she is “fully ready to learn.”[/quote]
