There are a whole lot of hypocrites on this website that's for sure.[/quote]

+1. I find it so funny that they are so defensive about their hypocrisy. Yes, dear, you purchased a 1.2 million dollar, 1,000 sq ft home in upper NW “for the schools”. We all know what you mean.  But, hey, you went to a BLM protest and have a little sign in your yard.[/quote]

Exactly. That’s the point. Nice white liberal parents that get offended when they get called out on their inconsistencies [/quote]

Do you send your child to a school where literally none of the kids are on grade level? [/quote]

You're such a toad, I haven't seen a single school where NONE of the kids are on grade level. Oh and that's what differentiated instruction is for. duh. But that would make mini Karen's IQ go down if she was near the poors.[/quote]

I’m not going to name schools here, but there are schools with no 4s or 5s in PARCC for math, in particular. Whether you send your kid to a school with no, or almost no, kids on grade level is a real question for DC parents, including for parents whose kids are not on grade level. That’s why this is so hard.[/quote]

Interesting that you think standardized testing, which has proven to be a poor measure time and time again is an indication of a child actually knowing a skill. [/quote]

+100.  Parents constantly cite test scores for schools. It absurd and reflects only parental income.[/quote]

Actually, it reflects whether the test takers can answer questions correctly.

Actually it reflects how well they can take a test. But I'm sure you already knew this.[/quote]
The test is used as a proxy for educational attainment.

When NCLB was proposed, it received the support of a large portion of the CBC. The foundational part of NCLB is school accountability based on testing. PARCC testing is a direct result and a legal requirement of NCLB.

Leaving PARCC aside, I am curious if you could propose an alternative objective measure to assess educational attainment. I would also like to understand how you would try to use that assessment to measure attainment without some form of standardization. [/quote]

Standardized testing by itself isn’t the devil if the questions are culturally inclusive. However, parcc disrupts my Dcps middle school for 6 straight weeks. The SAT matters far more and can be taken in a morning. Why must PARCC take 7-8 days per kid?[/quote]
You failed to answer my question, but I am curious wow you would propose that a standardized math test be more culturally inclusive? [/quote]

When the math questions are about high and low tide or the angle of a ski slope, not all kids will be able to process that in the same way if they’ve not experienced it themselves. And I do support shorter standardized tests, just ones that take a day or two rather than multiple weeks.[/quote]

You're going to need better examples. Most kids in the country have never seen the tides nor gone skiing; that isn't about race. [/quote]
