PASS is the test to federal standards, so it is apples to apples.
Again, rabid online ranting rather than a review of facts.
PASS is NOT apples to apples. When it was adopted in 2009 as the new STATE report card it was pilloried by testing authorities – including the expert we quoted above.
Of course it was, because, as you stated, PACT was more rigorous.
But, PASS testing is to the fed standards, so it is indeed apples to apples. THAT’S why they switched to PASS.
Now, I’ll agree with you that Fish Wrap is a mouthpeice for the left, but the rest of the blog post is pretty baseless.
Do some real research..
By the way, you didn’t name your expert. Who was it? I just see an unattributed quote.
Quote is from Dr. John Cronin of the Northwest Evaluation Association

And you don’t think that the fact that his assessment program wasn’t chosen over PASS doesn’t bear on his statements?
As you know by now, this is a fact free zone. Folks deals out the truth as he knows it to be, or as Howard Rich tells it to him; not facts. Facts cannot be trusted. They have an anti-Republican bias.
I don’t give a dang about party crap. I want the education system to work properly.
Well then you are wasting your time here. This site is all about politics, not about Children or the education system. This site is paid to make public schools and public school children look bad. It is part of a national campaign to attack public education.
I agree with you. As I have said many times on this site, whatever it takes to make the public system work properly for our children is what we need to do. But this site is paid by people who want to end public education, not make it work.
By the way I am an independent.
Jan! You nailed it.
sic(k) willie folks is nothing but a bought and paid for voucher pimp for Howie the Voucher Clown.
The REAL big lie is the voucher scam.
All the voucher scam would do is rob from those who need help the most.
Vouchers would not help those who need help the most.
SC Schools have been at the bottom of the list forever……..
