[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The tests are required by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The tests are not a Common Core issue, they are a No Child Left Behind Act issue.[/quote]

You've said that a million times.  We know.  And we also know that Arne Duncan loves the tests.  So we're stuck with them.  And now the tests are based on Common Core standards which makes the Common Core an issue because it is being tested.  Do you get the connection?  [/quote]

Are the tests the problem? Then fight the testing requirement. Don't waste your time fighting the Common Core standards. Fighting the Common Core standards will not get rid of the testing requirement.[/quote]

That needs to be focused - just fighting or opting out of PARCC doesn't get rid of NCLB and the testing requirement either.

Again, the issue of what SPECIFICALLY is wrong with the tests needs to be dealt with.  Fighting against the mere fact of testing isn't going to cut it.  If your gripe is that the tests aren't diagnostic, fine, then lobby and campaign for the tests to be diagnostic.[/quote]
