[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If these tests are simply a benchmark for the state, do they even affect our kids? If so how?[/quote]
Simple answer: NO[/quote]

It matters for some kids - at least moving forward. For example, they have to pass the algebra assessment to graduate.[/quote]

This year they just had to take the algebra assessment (or the other required ones), not pass it. But it will probably matter again next year.  Here's the language about this year:
[quote]
High school students who were enrolled in an ELA/L 10, Algebra I or High School Science course last year and take the shorter Early Fall assessment will not be required to pass the assessment to meet Maryland’s graduation requirements. Additionally, during the 2021-2022 school year, students enrolled in an ELA/L 10, Algebra I, Biology or Life Science, or Government course will be required to take, yet not required to pass, the current assessments for graduation. Students must pass the respective course.[/quote][/quote]
