[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For you recent commenters, you need to go back and read the thread.  All these issues about scheduling, differences vis-a-vis other schools, etc., have been discussed.

In any event, the students didn't make Wilson look bad.  Rather, they exposed the flaws of the whole PARCC paradigm and the incompetence of the Central Office in implementing it.[/quote]

It may have also exposed testing irregularities. You are not supposed to leave the testing room before the 90 minutes are over - it's likely disruptive to other students.

So if Wilson students were also allowed to rush, answer all multiple choice with A in hopes of finishing quickly the proctors were also misinformed or didn't follow the guidelines. If you're goig to be there for 90 minutes answer the questions to the best of your ability.

DCPS central office and Wilson admins look very bad, and the students don't get a free pass either.[/quote]

There is no way they allowed all those students to leave, and where would they go to? It's all hands on deck during testing in a high school, almost every teacher is either administering or proctoring an assessment. I don't believe it. It would have been reported. Also, all buildings had reviewers from downtown in the building to make sure that the tests were administered with fidelity, granted not as many as during the cheating scandal but enough to notice if so many students were walking out of testing. I smell cover-up!!![/quote]

Were you at wilson? there aren't enough laptops for every student to take the test in one morning, instead a few kids from each class are pulled out, tested in a random classroom and then released so they can go back to class when they're done[/quote]
