[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Field test. You never heard of cut scores? Do you even know anything at all about test development processes? Sure doesn't seem like you do.[/quote]

Yeah, I know about "cut scores".  They can be manipulated to make kids pass or not.  I'm sure next year's cut scores will be different so that we get more passes and everyone can say that the CC is working great.

Been there.  Done that.  Rinse and repeat.  Flush tax money down the toilet again.  Why?  So the politicians can say they are doing wonderful things that people in the schools know are a bunch of BS.

It would be much better to use the Iowa or Stanford or SAT or ACT or anything else to measure whether we are doing "worse" in education.  Those tests have a long and reputable history.  No cut scores because there aren't "high stakes" involved.  All signs point to the fact that we are doing well.  We have more students than ever graduating and going to college.  All this nonsense about how badly we are doing is just that . . . nonsense.

You need to come into a school and talk to kids.  You will find plenty who know where the Pacific Ocean is (among other things).  [/quote]

"No cut scores?"  LOL!  You don't seem to understand how Iowa, Stanford, SAT and ACT work either.
