[quote=Anonymous] Here's one of the accommodations the PARCC dumb asses suggested: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2014/11/25/a-damning-account-of-one-states-common-core-testing-initiative/ Bavis told the board members at the September meeting that districts will comply with the law and administer the PARCC as demanded but that the state did not give districts enough lead time to make testing schedules and set up accommodations for English Language Learners and students with special needs. He said he had attended a meeting about a week earlier at which state officials described [b]approved accommodations for English Language Learners: “I was told that one of the ELL English Language Learner accommodations approved by the state and PARCC is to read the directions slowly, in English, and at a higher volume.[/b] That’s awful as an accommodation. … It’s insulting.” But yeah, go ahead and turn your kids' futures over to Pearson.
