[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the lawsuit, of course they can't disclose the questions.  Next thing then we will have Dr. Li's compacted math test prep course![/quote]

Yes, this is what I have heard.  They don't want parents to have access because of the risk of kids getting prepped for the test. [/quote]

Having read the appeal, I don't think the board is saying they can't have the test.  The board said that the plaintiff didn't follow up the failure to provide the test under the Public Information Act with an appeal.  Since plaintiff didn't follow the PIA process, board cannot remedy anything.

I also think the plaintiff used the wrong process to file to see the test, plaintiff should have used FERPA, which clearly states that this test would be an educational record that student's family has access to.

I have used FERPA to see "secure" tests.  The only thing you have to do is sign a non-disclosure form.

BTW, if kids can succeed on the test with "preparation," then they deserve access to the class.  If the test is supposed to test some kind of "native intelligence or ability," then if it is accurate, one shouldn't be able to prep a kid.

If the test, tests what a child has learned, then it shouldn't matter whether the student learned in school, on his/her own, or via test prep.
