[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The PARCC tests were better than the previous state-written assessments. And now here we are, back to new and different [b]state-written assessments[/b].[/quote]

You didn't read or understand the article. The state is not writing the test--they are looking for vendors to write the test or propose already existing tests.[/quote]

Ah. So, we're replacing one vendor-written test with another vendor-written test.[/quote]

Either way doesn't matter to me. [b] PARCC needed to go as it was based on the belief that everyone should and could go to college, NCLB bullshit. [/b]If you read the documentation for PARCC, "career" ready is just another way of saying "college"--careers, not jobs. As the article states, I agree with educators that believe the new test should be adaptive and test grade-level material.  It should be able to assess if a child is below, at, or above grade level and quickly get that information to teachers/schools so that the information is useful.  [/quote]

That is factually incorrect.[/quote]
