Our third grade teachers just gave the SBAC test (Common Core standardized testing) to her students. The kids were all frustrated as the questions were more like 5th grade questions and none of the kids came anywhere near being able to answer them.

The only reason I could come up with for these kinds of questions is, since this was a trial test for us (we are just instituting CC), they want to make it appear how "lacking" our current program is.

I think there is an interest in making American kids appear dumb in math and science
