[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's the WBAL story, and I still can't figure out what on earth they're talking about:

What "Common Core statistics"? And Maryland could not have introduced the Common Core standards for pre-K three years ago, because there are no Common Core standards for pre-K. Bad journalism.[/quote]

Easy enough to figure out. [b]They test the Pre-K students [/b]to see if they are ready for K. They have done this forever.  Now, though, Pre-K students must be ready to learn in the mind-numbing Common Core way.l

And the reformers absolutely want your 3 year old to develop "grit" and "rigor" so they'll be ready to be on their knees groveling for the third-grade tests.  [/quote]

There is no universal Pre-K in Maryland, you dimwit! My DC did not get tested in his preschool since it was private and the only test he had to 'endure' before entering K was that twenty-minute assessment during his orientation, but even that was not "mandated".
