Product placement in questions- Nike, Barbie, iPod.
Poor grammar in questions.
3rd grade students asked to read passages on a 5th-8th grade level and answer questions on details buried in huge paragraphs.
Single questions that take almost all the test time to answer.
Students crying and thinking they're stupid because they can't understand the questions.

These Jagoff teachers are the biggest supporters of progressive government policies. Eat it! The sad thing is they are dragging children through their social playground and destroying their futures.

Beyond the nature of the questions, I’m appalled that an exam should take three days to complete.

Heck, my calculus and thermodynamics finals in college were one hour long apiece. Why does an elementary school exam need to be three days long?

Even Democrats hate Common Core: COMMON CORE IS UN AGENDA 21

On the whole, we think that we were able to protect them from the worst stresses of the test, and most seemed fine during most of the exam.

Wow.

Just wow....

Were these questions typical or were they the "separate the men from the boys" questions which would show which students were the great ones in class or even in the entire state. I had a physics professor who took it as a personal insult whenever someone got a 100% on his exams because once people started getting perfect scores you lost the ability to sort them based on their aptitude.

That being said, three days of testing is ridiculous. A couple of hours should be the absolute most to tell what you know unless it is some professional test like a bar exam or something like the SAT.

I was a great reader (still love to read, ketchup bottles, everything), I think I read at a 12th grade level in the 6th grade. But I don’t think I’d’ve been able to handle that stuff in the 3rd grade.

Common core seems to have one thing in common - everybody who has to actually deal with it hates it.

Geeeeeeee......do you think the Republicans could make some hay with that.....earn some cred with working class parents....hmmmmmm.... NAH, they are too busy lauding illegal immigrants for their “love”.

I avoid knee jerk in anyone, including myself.
But this is so blatant that the only explanation is a screwed up test. Either through incompetence or deliberate jail-time class purpose that is not yet clear.
