[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't think the public should be involved in developing standards or how to implement them. It's not their place, and quite frankly, most people are too dumb. As PP stated, there have always been standardized testing even before CC. In MD they have two tests - PARCC and MAP tests. They should just do away with the MAP testing. [/quote] What makes the United States truly different from other countries? Democracy. The public elects the decision makers. The decision makers should listen to the public. [/quote] Actually, as my sixth-grader reminded me just last week after studying ancient Greece, if the public elects the decision-makers, it's not a democracy. The US is a republic. And I assure you that the United States is not the only country in which the public elects the decision-makers.[/quote]
