 Where have YOU been? It's all over the NY news. NY and Kentucky took the early PARCC tests. Why do you think they are ready to run the head of education out of the state?

No, Kentucky did not take the early PARCC tests. Kentucky designed their own Common Core tests.

No, Pearson wrote the tests for New York and Kentucky: They are considered "pilots"
(Do you really thing that the states took the time and money to write the tests? They are part of the 'consortium' involved with the two big testing companies."

Are you saying that Pearson wrote the tests for Kentucky, and Pearson is one of the contractors writing the tests for PARCC, therefore the Kentucky tests are the PARCC tests?

Kentucky has been using tests designed for the Common Core. But they are not the PARCC tests.[/quote]
