No, AMPS isn’t taking advertisements, I just wanted to point out how ridiculous the idea expressed in this one is. And note it isn’t just the Iowa Assessments, MMSD has bought the ACT/EPASS/EXPLORE program based on the same pitch.
” College and Career Readiness” as “revealed” by standardized tests starting in 6th grade. Is this the end of education in that goal and yard stick are test based ” College and Career Readiness”? If so then it is the end of education for citizenship and full and rich life.
Caveat — I know that some good can come from monitoring where students are in relation to where they will/should be going.
