[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Secondly, I live in the state of MD, and previously lived in the state of VA. In BOTH states we had standards. In BOTH states we got new standards, from time to time. In NEITHER state were the standards "tested" before they were updated. I remember all the angst when VA rolled outs its SOLs (Standards of Learning) and especially the SOL tests. Wow you would have thought the world was going to end. The anger, the worry, the Sturm und Drang. No field testing, either. They were just dropped on us. Now people like the SOLs pretty much and see no reason to switch to Common Core.[/quote] It's throw back Monday -- if you feel like doing a little reading, read this article about 5 years into the adoption of the VA Standards of Learning (1999) Man, what fun times those were: http://www.via.vt.edu/fall99/sols.html [/quote]
