[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is a 3rd grader who took the PARCC reading test as part of the pilot. She did not think it was impossibly hard. She said each part took a little over an hour and there was a lot of typing. However, she said what the test was asking for was similar to the writing that they had been working on for the past two years in reading -- citing specific examples to support a position from more than one text. I think the its too hard hype may be overblown. [/quote] If your child is a strong student, it would make sense that she would do well. About 30 percent of the student body will pass. 70 percent of the white student body will fail this test, and up to 95 percent of black, Hispanic and special needs students will fail. [/quote] How can you possibly know these numbers about a test that is only in pilot form? And what a sad statement about public education in America if this was true.[/quote]
