From..wikipedia..nystate..still in it. LISTEN TO THIS GIRL!! Youll then understand the pressure kids (and teachers) are under. My granddaughter did fine on the tests..but her classmates only averaged about 40%.. Ridiculous! Let the teachers teach the students..and not teach to the tests.. Write to your school boards..state legislators, etc. .......wikipedia In the spring of 2010,[1] the District of Columbia decided to join the now 23 PARCC states. These states include: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Tennessee. On September 23, 2013, Florida withdrew from Common Core and PARCC, citing unconstitutional involvement by the federal government in states affairs.[5] As of March 25th, 2014 only 14 states plus the District of Columbia remain in the PARCC consortium. States that have withdrawn include: Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Utah. PARCC was selected for use in the District of Columbia around the time the District had adopted the Common Core State Standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy in July 2010 and before it was acknowledged as a Race to the Top winner in August 2010. Washington D.C. is also one of only 18 governing states in the PARCC in charge of assessment development.[6] In addition to these governing states, the Advisory Committee on College Readiness (ACCR) is also managing over the development and implementation of PARCC assessments. This group of higher education experts aims to ensure that PARCC exams are acceptable indicators of college readiness in math and English for both two- and four-year colleges and universities.[7] In July 2013, a more accurate price estimation was made at $29.50 per student, higher than expected. Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, Alabama, Georgia, and Indiana have each filed the appropriate documentation to withdraw from the PARCC consortium as a result of the increased cost and rising public concern about the Common Core Standards.[8]
