Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

one key point on which no one is focusing is that the board is dropping requirements for breife constructed responses (paragraphs) and extended constructed responses (essays) ostensibly because they take took long to turn around and score. Nut on selected response items (multiple choice) there is, unlike SATs and APs, no correction for guessing. Thus a student properly instructed to guess on every question is not penalized, and thus the scores obtained are inflated somewhat from what the student's underlying knowledgge actually is. teacherken aka ken bernstein who teaches a course tested by Maryland's High School Assessments Kenneth J.
