And, it's relevant because DC doesn't have another test ready to go at the moment and federal law mandates accountability testing of some kind.[/quote]

This.  Kids need some type of standardized test to see how they are doing in general and compared to peers.[b] DC happens to pick PARCC which is not the best[/b][/quote]

No one is using PARCC. No one.[/quote]

Ok but you can still use PARCC to compare the kids in DC and how your kid is doing compared to his peers at his school and other schools. That is helpful information. [/quote]

This can be done with the MAP /nwea assessments.

Why do you think MAP is better? Because it's shorter? (That's a real reason and I am asking genuinely.)

I understand parents wanting a different test, if they really feel a different test would be better aligned with assessing student progress, targeting intervention, etc. But just complaining that DC is testing this year is silly. They have to. Like every other state.[/quote]
