[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to see more justification given for why an electronic test takes nine months to score. I'd also like to see the Financials for the genius companies scoring it.a[/quote]

Google Pearson Annual Report.  You can also search for the NYT piece about the high-caliber of those reviewing narrative writing.[/quote]

yeah we have one of those teachers in our schools he told us it took 17 seconds to evaluate English essays - and he is, pardon my language, a damn good English teacher

but is what Pearson wants what our students need?

We are now only 11 state as we started out at around 30.  I say rely on the NAEP and nothing else, and all these districts are wasting a huge amount of money now that Pearson has admitted that the tests do not help you help the kids the following year................

don't remember what the exact quote was, but it spoke volumes

and third graders who can type essays in poor districts like ours are just of course all over the place.........

I bet you my son, who got an 799/800 on the math portion of the DC CAS last year in 4th grade is going to flail on Pearson because of the "explain your answer in English" part of the math test.  Got all A's in Algebra I at BASIS DC last year.  He is our canary in the coal mine.

We get his scores, if they are inconsistent, we pull all our kids out next year - not that they are all at BASIS yet, or that any of them were at schools that taught to the test, but we could do a lot of better things with our family over those six days[/quote]
