Which STATES developed. And, as is demonstrated by the very fact that there are DIFFERENT TESTS depending on which state you are in, i.e. PARCC vs. Smarter Balanced.

So again, stop with the "feds feds feds, waaah" nonsense. [/quote]

Doesn't change the fact that the Race to the Top funds came from the feds.  And, that the feds pretty much said that the money only went to CC states.  Facts are facts.  The states did not develop the tests.  They were developed by a consortium with grants from feds and Gates.  They were developed to be used to meet the NCLB and CC requirements.

Uh, yeah, states that were doing standards work got funding, because states that weren't interested in changing their standards didn't NEED extra money for standards.

And the CONSORTIUM you refer to that developed the tests INCLUDED the states.

Again, you really don't understand the process. States are having to use these consortiums to get the tests written because of money and time constraints. Even states like Michigan, which dropped out of Smarter Balanced, is having to use most of the Smarter Balance questions.

And half the states have kicked PARCC to the curb. Must be one shitty test![/quote]

The consortia were formed because of the economies of scale of developing tests jointly.  Again, it's far cheaper and vastly more cost effective than having each state develop its own test independently.[/quote]
