[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] And, it is quite likely that this will not help get rid of those teachers. For one thing, nobody knows if the tests are valid or reliable. [b]The standards have never been vetted or undergone serious analysis.[/b] [/quote] And around, and around, and around... (I'm still wondering what, specifically, "vetting" the standards would entail, and whether any other standards have been "vetted" like that.)[/quote] Sure they were vetted. They were based on existing, vetted state standards that existed prior to CC. And during the compilation process, there were drafts put out for vetting by the teachers unions and others. And then, they were piloted in several areas for additional vetting. The PP evidently seems to think that simply repeating that old canard of "they weren't vetted" often enough will retroactively change history and make the claim become true.[/quote]
