As the Spring testing frenzy continues on it is my hope that when the PARCC exam period ends the 'powers that be' will seek input from the various schools seeking their feedback. As with any test, classroom or not, the test is reviewed with the participants.
Specifically, I would hope the state would see how many children couldn't/wouldn't take the test and find out the reasons why. Did the school not have enough computers? Were there hardware/software issues? Since this is the first time through for PARCC did the test fulfill all of the credibility/reliability concerns?
There are many other questions to be answered but if this PARCC test is to survive then some serious follow up needs to take place at the grassroots level.
