发帖数: 21374 | 1 City results on state math and reading tests plummeted last year –
confirming warnings that testing kids on tougher educational standards would
shock the school systems from New York to Buffalo.
Fewer than 30 percent of public school kids in grades 3 to 8 passed the
state math exams last year, while roughly 26 percent passed the exams in
reading, according to the Wall Street Journal.
That’s down from pass rates of 60 percent in math in 2011 and 47 percent in
reading.
The poor results were prompted by New York’s adoption of higher learning
standards known as Common Core, which was embraced by 44 other states and
Washington D.C.
But New York was one of the few states to have already changed its exams to
reflect the new standards – meaning kids, teachers and principals had less
time to prepare to meet the higher benchmark.
In fact, city schools won’t even begin teaching a curriculum that’s fully-
aligned with the new standards until the coming school year.
“It wouldn't have made any sense to give assessments this year based on old
standards, while expecting teachers to teach to the Common Core," said
State Education Commissioner John King, who referred to the humbling results
as a new "baseline" for whether kids are on a trajectory to succeed after
high school.
U.S. Education Chief Arne Duncan got on a conference call with NY reporters
yesterday to emphasize that the pending results - though expected to be
dismal - were essentially righting a wrong.
In a harsh assessment, he blasted school systems across the country with
having dumbed down standards for years while "lying" about how well their
students were doing.
“They said children were on track to being ready for college and careers
when in reality, they weren't even close," he said. "Finally, we're telling
them the truth, we're telling their parents the truth and we're telling
their future employers the truth." | c***c
