[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new report cards tell you nothing other than your kid meets low state standards.[/quote]

This is incorrect. The standards are quasi-national standards (Common Core). Also, I don't know why the PP assumes that they are low. If you interested in what the standards are, you can look them up here:

[quote=Anonymous]MSA test scores overall are falling. [/quote]

MSA scores are down because the MSAs are the tests Maryland designed to assess learning under the previous state curriculum. The MSAs are not a good way to assess learning under the Common Core curriculum, because the Common Core curriculum is different. Maryland is only still using the MSAs because the standardized tests designed to assess learning under the Common Core curriculum are not ready yet. When they are ready, Maryland will switch from the MSAs to the new tests (PARCC).
