In New Mexico, hundreds of students protested the PARCC Common Core exam by walking out of school. In New Jersey and other states, thousands of students refused to take the tests. In Chicago, schools officials who earlier said they would not give PARCC test to all students bowed to state pressure and said they would � even though the head of the school district said "that to administer PARCC this year is absolutely not in the best interests of our students." And in Florida, computer problems in numerous school districts forced officials Monday to delay the state's new standardized assessment tests.
The Common Core 2015 testing season got into full swing in numerous states around the country Monday, and it was anything but smooth in some places. |
