He should not inspect gas lines in Manhattan. He should not write a news story. He should not design software, be a judge, be a police officer, be a doctor, be a dentist - nothing that requires applying prior CORRECT outside knowledge to a problem presented in order to spot and discard mistakes and find important solutions.<br /><br />If that man does anything other than demand money back from the testing company that supplied factually incorrect questions, discard all answers -- right and wrong -- to that question -- and apologize for his idiotic statement that NY WANTED to test if children could choose an answer based upon an incorrect reading passage -- if he does anything less than all of the above, he should be fired. <br /><br />Either he actually did deliberately decide an incorrect question was appropriate, or he is covering up for letting one slip through with the most bizarre fail of an explanation I can imagine. <br /><br />Either way, he should be fired by the governor of New York.<br /><br />That is completely unacceptable in every other job. A 19 year old Marine cannot say "I deliberately loaded the wrong calibre in the 50 cal to see if the others could tell." <br /><br />How do people who would think like this end up with this level of responsibility? I really don't understand. Has no performance evaluation ever in their life been honest? <br /><br />Signed: Math Counts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-12396895246568308692014-04-05T06:45:11.933-07:002014-04-05T06:45:11.933-07:00This is what the creators of Common Core deserve:
