[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The tests are a requirement of the No Child Left Behind Act. This requirement existed before the Common Core standards were developed, and it exists in states that did not adopt the Common Core standards as well as in states that have disadopted the Common Core standards. If all of the states disadopted the Common Core standards tomorrow, the testing requirement would still exist. If you don't like the tests -- that is not a Common Core issue. It's a No Child Left Behind Act issue. [/quote]

We ALL know that.  However, the topic of this thread is PARCC.  PARCC got buckets of money from the feds to develop and run tests for Common Core standards.  That's the problem.  And, no, it does not save money in the long run.[/quote]

"Buckets of money" - again, you are deeply factually challenged.  The "buckets of money" would only be the equivalent of around $6,000 dollars per school district, which is far less than what it would cost if each state and each district did things individually, separately, their own way.

I seriously do not know how you can continue to keep being so dishonest, slinging out lies like "buckets of money" when it's blatantly, undisputably WRONG.[/quote]
