Take a sample Florida Standards Test! (Common Core)
Florida Standards Assessment ^

Posted on 07/02/2014 7:23:48 PM PDT by dontreadthis

The Florida Department of Education on Monday released more information about the state's new series of standardized tests that will replace most of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test next spring. The information, including sample questions, can be viewed at http://www.fsassessments.org

The Education Department wants to hear what the public, particularly teachers, thinks about the sample questions, so there is a comment form on the website, too. The state will take comment through Sept. 5.

The FSA will rely less on multiple-choice questions and more on items that require students to show their work or how they arrived at an answer. The sample questions show that:

Third-graders might have to write a sentence explaining the main idea of a paragraph.

Seventh-graders might have to pull information from both a passage of text and a map to answer a reading-test question

High-school students might be shown grammar and spelling errors in a passage and then have to make corrections.

Fifth-graders, given a worked-out math problem, might have to pinpoint where a mistake was made.

If you have a bucket with 5 rocks, and another bucket with 7 rocks, how many buckets do you have?

Three. Because two buckets have more than their fair share?

The goal is to make every kid dumb as a bucket of rocks.

The only reason this thing doesn’t die on the vine is that lots and lots of influential Republicans are backing it.

Maybe not publicly, but behind the scenes they are keeping it alive.

Probably “Do you agree the buckets are a Trigger that reminds you of slaves carrying water from the well the Massa’s house? If yes, please file a grievance with the school principal.”

No, you pass a law such that each bucket must have equal numbers of rocks, so, four rocks and four rocks*.

* The remaining rocks are consumed by overhead administrative costs.

You have 12 rocks, so subtract 1 from that and you get 2, subtract zero from two and still have a 2 left, so there are 2 buckets.

I was just watching Jimmy Kimmel. He did a quiz with two English people on the street.

One of the questions was “What is the name of the stadium where the LA. Dodgers play?”

They passed.

Rick Scott is toast. He pushed this new Commie Core test, while claiming to be against Commie Core. He keeps handing the Governors mansion back to Crist
