[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way for MCPS or the state to stop using MCAP or a similar test at the end of the year. NCLB requires it. Maybe Millennial parents don’t remember the controversy over its passage, but the core of the law was annual state testing beginning in 3rd grade. [/quote] But they clearly didn’t mandate a specific test. I’m the PP who posted earlier about the CAT and ITBS tests. If we went back to them, we’d have tests that provided reliable data that would be more informative. Not only would they be more helpful to parents, but they would allow comparison between the states.[/quote] I think a national test would be ideal, but short of that, PARCC was supposed to do something like that. But all the states pulled out. [/quote]
