[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]None of what you are saying is mutually exclusive to PARCC or Common Core.

Again, [b]you IDENTIFY AND DIAGNOSE the issues.[/b] If kids are not performing well due to home issues, then [b]social supports need to be bolstered. [/b]If kids are coming in to the system behind, [b]you identify that and get them remedial supports and work to get them up to speed [/b]over the course of more than one year. If kids are below basic, [b]you say "YES, they are BELOW BASIC and HERE IS WHY and HERE IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO ABOUT IT."[/b]

Instead you seem to just want to whine and complain but then ultimately do nothing but pass the buck.[/quote]

Yes, we do all of that.  The buck truly lands with us, yet we are not asked for our input about the effects of the testing.  You have been constantly "passing the buck" by saying that any problems are the fault of the "locals".  Talk about not taking responsibility![/quote]

There were many stakeholder groups that were asked on many many occasions for input going all the way back to 2007 for Common Core and all the way back to 2000 for NCLB which included all of the teachers organizations and unions.  There were thousands of comments received.  Maybe you didn't personally get an engraved invitation but it's disingenuous to suggest teachers did not have opportunity to provide input.

As for the problems, first you complained about federal government taking too much control but then when I said it's up to the locals to solve local problems, you complain that someone other than the locals needs to be taking responsibility for local problems? [/quote]
