Teachers started off loving it. By the time kids have spent 10 hours on questions most can't answer, the bottom will drop out of Common Core support. [/quote]

Reread the above, please.

And no, not 10 hours.

This is for the PARCC: http://parcconline.org/update-session-times
This is for the Smarter Balanced: http://www.smarterbalanced.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Preliminary-Summative-Blueprints-Supporting-Document.pdf[/quote]

Oh, only 7 FUCKING HOURS! well that' s better.

Last year, when my child took the MSAs, I'm guessing that that took 7 fucking hours too.

PARCC is indeed 10 hours long -- or more:

[b]The PARCC testing consortium has announced that schools will need to schedule about 10 hours of testing time this spring for elementary school students, and nearly 11 hours or more for middle and high school students.[/b]

Released Thursday, the new time projections are higher than the estimates that PARCC issued in March of 2013: eight to 10 hours of testing. But that's because the earlier figures reflected something different: the amount of time "typical" students would need to complete the English/language arts and mathematics tests.[/quote]
