TNReady scores NOT ready for final grades
Well, here we go again.
The TNReady scores that are supposed to factor into a student’s final grades are NOT ready.
Districts are reporting that the testing vendor AGAIN missed the window for inclusion in final grades.
Districts have the option of waiting OR just not including them.
This happens. Every. Year.
What IS all this testing for, anyway? And if the scores aren’t back in time to be useful to districts in terms of grades, well, what’s the point?
I mean, sure, there’s the chance to hold kids back in third grade – a policy destined for failure.
The state insists on the tests. The state insists that the tests count – for grades and for retention decisions – and the state’s selected vendor consistently fails to meet agreed deadlines.
