ANOTHER SHOW OF OPPOSITION TO THE PARCC EXAM. PARENTS OF ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE SCHEDULED TO RALLY AGAINST THE TEST AT APS HEADQUARTERS FRIDAY. THE PARENTS SAY THEY DON’T WANT THEIR KIDS BE SEEN AS JUST TEST SCORES … AND BELIEVE STANDARDIZED TESTING DOESN’T REALLY MEASURE ACHIEVEMENT. THE PARENTS ALSO SAY THEY WANT THEIR STUDENTS EXCUSED FROM TAKING SUCH EXAMS.
THE PARCC TEST HAS LED TO NUMEROUS STUDENT WALKOUTS AND PROTESTS THIS WEEK.
