[quote=Anonymous][quote]So you think it would be better if the states kept testing based on curricula they no longer use?[/quote] They could have a testing moratorium. Several superintendents have favored that approach. Having a year or two without testing would not be the end of the world. Or, like Virginia, they could keep their previous standards and continue their own state testing (as is it is their choice, not the feds choice). If they want to incorporate some parts of the CC into their own standards, great. If they want to choose CC and then tweak it, great. They can work with another state or states on those things as well. There has to be some flexibility or it won't work. Choosing the best from various sources is probably the kind of flexibility that districts want (and most people want this kind of situation in life---choices). Education, at its most fundamental level, is about the student. Adaptability is key. [/quote]
