[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Our principal has said PARCC is: - "not the best" - "being diplomatic" - at this point tests computer skills as much as content - an adaptive test would have been far better (and one is available, but wasn't selected - a lot of politics and money behind Pearson -- directly from the principal) - the school will not put any stock in the test this year and maybe even next year - goal is to provide real point of comparison year to year and btwn districts, but with only 10 states now participating, unclear if that goal will ever be met The above -- NOT AN AVERSION TO STANDARDIZED TESTING, NOR ANY IDEOLOGY -- is what has me concerned. Strange to me that so many people just accept anything handed to them by the public school system and/or make up their minds based on their political affiliation. Bizarre. Critical thinkingisgood a good thing -- and I'm pretty sure something that common core (at least in theory) is meant to foster. [/quote]
