The same is true for all the other regent exams as well.

Am going to love trying to teach students who are on a third to fifth grade reading and writing level how to pass a test (ELA Regents) that is geared to a 10th/11th grade level student. All it takes is magically turning an 8 year old mind into a 16 year old mind in five months! Should be just wonderful. I can't wait until they take the safety net of RCTs away. Any other readers find it criminal they are doing this? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
