MICHIGAN STUDENTS IGNORE THE MAEP WHEN THEY DON'T NEED IT FOR COLLEGE
http://www.detnews.com/1998/classrooms/9811/03/11030073.htm Tuesday,
November 3, 1998 Wayne County: Fewer students taking state test "The
decline in scores and participation can be attributed to many things.
But one reason we heard by a great number of parents is that they
didn't see the validity of the test -- especially when their children
are being accepted into the colleges of their choice."  In the
Dearborn Public Schools, less than half of the 979 juniors sat for
the tests and less than 50 percent achieved the two highest levels of
the state standards in math, reading, science and writing.
