[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the last ELA PARCC at Wilson, 
42% of the school was BELOW grade level.

Grade level is a really low standard.  Have you seen these tests?  
And yet, it's a good idea to put all these kids in a college level English class in 11th grade?  Many can't even read.  [/quote]

[b]MYOB. Other kids’ test scores aren’t your concern[/b]. The only parents who should complain are the kids who can’t pass non-AP classes. Those are the kids who need help. Your kid will do fine in AP.[/quote]

But if this is about equity and we're all in this together, aren't bad scores everyone's business? If you're a kid who would have scored a 5 and now its a 4, I can see an argument for fine. If it's a 4 that ended up getting a 3 or a 3 that would have received a 4 with more focused programming and both missed getting credit, that's not so fine. If you are reading at a 4th grade reading level and wasting your time in AP English, that's not fine either. [/quote]
