Oh goody, goody. An opportunity to ask Ms. Cox and Mr. Bryant about those missing EOCT Math 1 and Math 2 scores. And how do they explain the poor ITBS scores in math?
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, this would be an excellent opportunity to urge our public servants (Yes- they work for us-- not the testing companies, or DOE or the textbook publishers) to finally listen to parents and teachers.
In this environment of budget cutting, they should eliminate the worthless but expensive CRCT tests and use the ITBS. We are a global community and a very mobile one. We need to know how our students are measuring up on a national basis. Most of us don't give a hoot about the CRCT scores and the teachers are sick of teaching to an artifically manipulated test.
I totally agree Anonymous 12:17. The ITBS is a much better test and gives parents and teachers a much better look at where their child is on the National level.
ReplyDeleteHow can Kathy Cox help us with all this DCSS mess? What authority does she have to help us? None really. Why does she (and the state board) not seem to care about how DCSS wastes the money sent to us?
