[quote=Anonymous]New York State has its own set of significant implementation screwups, which are not the fault of NCLB and Common Core.  But even that said, I think what that article is trying to say is a gross mischaracterization of the extent of opt-outs, you are basically just talking about a couple of neighborhood schools with some rabid organized activists, whereas there are other accounts that say that statewide in New York State it is still not much more than 1% opting out overall.

And again, I have to scoff at the characterization of how much time they say it's taken away from their kids education.  My own kid is taking PARCC exams later this week.  Aside from a brief discussion and walkthrough of testing process and mechanics during one study hall, they have spent ZERO, yes ZERO hours on PARCC test prep.

Like I keep saying, the fuckups you keep pointing to are LOCAL.   If you are having those problems, then it is LOCAL.  You quite likely have braindead administrators along with a lot of other mediocrity and cluelessness going on in your school (probably yourself included), which is not at all the fault of NCLB or CC.[/quote]
