For those to lazy to click on the Smarter Balanced Field test links, lets look at the PASSING rate ELA results for 7th grade:

Females: 45.1

Males: 31.5

Black: 22. 5

White: 47.6

ELL: 3.9

IEP: 7.3

Economically Disadvantaged: 26.1

There's no other explanation. It's simple fact. [/quote]

Well, you can go and ask the TEACHERS that comprised the majority of the cut score panel who felt where they set them was appropriate.  According to your logic, it is they who want the kids to fail after all.[/quote]
