[quote=Anonymous][quote]Certainly there is a lot of noise from the arguing. However -- Which states are dropping which tests? How many parents are opting out, and to what extent is that related to the Common Core standards, as opposed to testing? How many teachers are quitting because of the Common Core standards? I'd like to see some data and documentation. [/quote] The Chicago public schools got cold feet and, before they could find out exactly how bad the opt out was going to be (and it was looking bad), they ran for political cover and decided to only test 10% of their students. I'm not sure you'll get the full documentation and data as other state and local governments look for political cover. They really would rather not have this thing play out and make them look ridiculous. They'd like to get ahead of the "data" (because letting this stuff happen does not make for great political careers). [/quote]
