Nonsensical testing didn’t cover subject areas taught and consumed huge amounts of time.

Now they should drop the entire Common Core debacle all together and go back to phonics and standard math.

The article says nothing about AIR, Ohio’s standardized social studies and science tests that are modeled after the two PARRC exam subjects: English and math.

It doesn’t matter. High stakes online testing is here. Kasich and others need legislation that carves out the root cause and not just the visible problem.

Ohio Ping

Ohio dropped the PARCC Common Core testing consortium Tuesday night after a series of complaints from educators and parents, including concerns from north central Ohio.

Gov. John Kasich signed a compromise two-year budget which concurred with Ohio Senate and House leaders that the Math and English exams would end in Ohio.
