[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] That is college. There is no mention of vocational trade schools in PARCC's language. You don't need higher order thinking skills for vocational school. [/quote] I don't know about you, but I don't want a plumber or electrician or car mechanic who can't handle complex ideas.[/quote] I don't think it is the same thing. Plumbers historically didn't need to go to college and shouldn't have to. I think what they do is complex, but what PARCC is trying to measure higher order thinking skills for careers that need a college education. Apples and oranges. [/quote] PARCC is trying to measure higher-order thinking skills, full stop. You need these skills for college (ideally). You need these skills to be a plumber. And you need these skills to be an informed and involved participant in civil society. [/quote]
