I have watched my best students fill in patterns on the bubble sheets. I have witnessed multiple students scoring a "5" on the AP test and being told they are not proficient on the state social studies test.<br /><br />The juniors know that the state tests have NO bearing on their graduation or college admission. They view the tests as useless drudgery. But we can be evaluated by their scores. Seems that policymakers would fail a simple test: common sense.lateralushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870256979297807637noreply@blogger.com
