State testing mishap in Adams Five Star
Written by Nancy Mitchell on Aug 5th, 2010. | Copyright © EdNewsColorado.org
Good grief. How about some focus on extracting meaning from the efforts of 6,000 kids instead of mindless following of rules that upon reflection may not have had any impact? I’m a COVA parent. They provided my family a real service that a brick and mortar school could not based on my students unique needs. My High School senior took the accuplacer to take a math class at Front Range – she tested exactly where she should have based on her completed courses at COVA. My student would not have taken CSAPs, she took the ACT, I’m saying her progress is spot on based on objective tests like accuplacer and ACT (scores are adequate to apply to any college she wants). COVA RULES CSAP DROOLS.
Yes, the level of absurdity when it comes to CSAP testing regulations reaches new heights. If someone actually cheated and scores were in question, drop all of those scores, but to do such a disservice to the school and the whole district borders on the rediculous.
This is a prime example of the idiocy COVA parents are running from. Educators without common sense!
