RE: Algebra Sampler
And now we know, thank you. That's what the test will look like.
And as far as the "we expect teachers to teach a good course" nonsense,
they know full well that schools, principals, and teachers will be
evaluated on the test results, both passing rates and actual scores.
So we get 89 indicators with no curriculum, and the only way to go for
high scores is to teach to the indicators, and the ones that matter are
the ones on the test... Good course? Please. Mile wide and an inch deep,
because we have no other choice. It is a mistake to allow these people to
design high stakes tests.

"sample test."
We are expecting teachers to teach a good course, not teach to the test.
