"Developmentally inappropriate" is a term that teachers are applying to standards that are so far out of reach for their students that the kids hit the frustration level. CC supporters do not have a clue.

Bullshit.

Again, the question is, for the 438th time, which standard, SPECIFICALLY, and how, SPECIFICALLY is it "so far out of reach?" What exactly are the criteria, and where is the data for saying so? Out of reach for how many kids? These are concepts and questions that any teacher should be able to understand.

Yet, nobody ever seems to be able to answer those questions, which makes the comment of "developmentally inappropriate" utterly meaningless and without merit.

Sorry, but no cigar.

The answers are slowly coming out.  Did you read the Forbes article that was posted on the other thread?

Also, yes, let's give teachers time to help change these standards.  There are some big reasons why they are not working out in the schools.  And let's stop the testing RIGHT AWAY until we can refine the whole implementation process.  Wouldn't you agree that it's not fair to test kids in so many schools where the standards are not being implemented well?  The kids don't understand why they are failing.  It's a mess. [/quote]

Where standards are not being implemented well, that's the fault of the schools, and that's something that NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED.  Poor implementation is just a symptom of far bigger problems in those schools and should not be swept under the carpet.  Those schools obviously have far bigger problems to deal with and getting rid of testing damn sure isn't going to fix it.[/quote]
