[quote=Anonymous] And, as many have stated on this thread, standardized testing is separate from CC. A person can be anti-testing, yet be pro CC. Also a person could be pro-testing, but anti CC. They are two separate issues. I think that a lot of people are not anti standards, but want time to work with the standards and change parts that don't make sense. Many people want to see a reduction in testing or a less "high stakes" nature to it because the pressure of "high stakes" is what has corrupted ("warped" if you like that word better) the instructional process. Finally, if the "achievement gap" is truly the focus, there should be evidence that the testing is narrowing the gap. Various reasons for the testing have been given and various reasons for CC standards have been given on this thread. It's not entirely clear how having common standards will close the achievement gap in various states. [/quote]
