[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still nothing for my current 5th grader.

Does the state send the results out, or does MCPS? [/quote]

Scores on this test don't really matter. They're basically just made up. There's nothing to compare it to and no historical record. My point is don't get too worked up over it.[/quote]

I know, but in principle if they are going to spend that much time testing the kids, I want the results. They have them, clearly; they simply won’t share them until forced to do so.[/quote]

So would i if this test meant anything but it's never been used anywhere so hard to get a sense of what the scores really mean. On the one hand MCPS has scores well above national norms on tests like NWEA's MAP but on this new test everyone fails which makes me think it's just a bad test.[/quote]

Yes, it's just a bad test that's never been any use anywhere and the results are meaningless.[/quote]

Au contraire.  They have meaning for the coming nightmare to Maryland taxpayers in the form of the Blueprint for Maryland.  This is the 7-10 billion buck give away to teachers unions to put Maryland on par with places like Singapore.  In exchange these tests were a fake ‘accountability’ check - to show taxpayers how much Larlo was improving.  Massachusetts pulled off this feat in 1993 and have been ahead of all states for 25 years (only felled occasionally by DODEA kids in NAEP).  Oh Maryland, my Maryland.  You can spend the money but your corrupt ways will always ensure you remain below Florida on all the significant nationwide tests (and they currently pay a third in public school costs)[/quote]
