[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Nowhere do the Common Core standards require this. This sounds like a problem with the school administration. [/quote] The schools are scared of not passing the test. The teachers are afraid of losing their jobs. CC is tied to testing. I understand it is required by NCLB--but CC is tied to testing. [/quote] The schools were scared of not passing the test before the Common Core standards, and if the Common Core standards went away tomorrow but NCLB remained, they would still be scared of not passing the test. See this book, for example, which was published in 2007: http://www.amazon.com/Tested-American-School-Struggles-Grade-ebook/dp/B000UB9NES (By the way, even if I hated the Common Core standards for every other aspect (which I don't), I would be grateful to the Common Core standards for getting Maryland to get rid of those awful, horrible "brief constructed responses" on the MSAs. Thank you, Common Core standards.)[/quote]
