[quote=Anonymous]For those who say their schools don't spend much time prepping.... is that really an excuse, explanation? You only have to get HALF the questions right to pass. Even if your school is so upper SES that the teachers don't bother "prepping" kids, isn't it a problem if those high SES kids can't get half the questions right? Obviously many are getting half right, but "we don't bother to prep" -- that's not really an explanation. And this goes double for any schools where the passrates are lower -- with the exception of schools where there are many language learners --- even if the population is low SES, for the love of Pete, shouldn't kids be able to get HALF of the questions right after spending at least 7-8 mos on these topics? There's nothing wrong with "prepping" --- it means kids are actually LEARNING the material on the test. Maybe some of these teachers need to prep their kids a little more if they can't get half right.[/quote]
