WAKE UP NEW JERSEY!!! COMMON CORE STARTS 2014 AND YOUR CHILDS PERFORMANCE WILL BE TRACKED... SCRUTINY OF NEW JERSEY SCHOOLS GOES RIGHT TO THE CORE COMMENTS Thoughtful article. I wish you had included some solutions or a call to action. You bring up some strong arguments, but for the average lay person, they wont get the impact that CC and the PARCC will have. Youre right when you state, The backlash is not about kids; it’s about fear of exposure. One other concern which was not address, is the sharing of students personal date with the Gates and Pierson companies. I have read several articles claiming that childrens personal scores and information will be shared (and tracked). It would be great if you could investigate this claim. This specific issue, plus the economic challenges of the PARCC could potentially challenge the implementation n the 2014-2015 school year. Posted by mariaangela on June 11 at 5:26 AM The author, as well as the NJDOE BROADIES, would be well served by understanding the difference between standards and curriculum. Very telling. How can you comment upon something you understand so poorly? How can any presentation of the CCSS rollout not even mention the costs? While current computers may work for the 2014-2015 tests, they will not be sufficient after that! Ch-ching$$$$ Current mobile devices need external keyboards! Ch-ching$$$ Old hardware may slow test testing experience (latency..) for children in schools with outdated computers and infrastructure. Current third graders are not exposed to keyboarding their writing! Should they be? Fiscal irresponsibility. The Smart states are stepping aside and letting the true believers (Jeb Bushs BROADIE CHIEFS) take the hit, waste money and time to work out the kinks. In New Jersey THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS DOING THIS NOW.... No need to let little things like money, logic or evidence get in the way of a good faith based initiative.
