O’Malley Opposes Attempt To Stop MSA Testing Next Month
Gov. Martin O’Malley’s office said Tuesday he stands by a state education department decision to move forward with administering the final Maryland School Assessment (MSA) test in a few weeks, despite efforts by legislators, teachers, unions and school boards to stop it.
Hearings were held Tuesday in a Senate committee and last week in the House on emergency bills that would require the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) to ask federal education officials to waive the testing requirement, because the testing material is based on an outdated curriculum.
The governor does not support dropping the test, his spokeswoman said. More
Dumber than he looks, and he looks plenty foolish.
Test results compared to prior years when they prepped all year for the MSA are likely to tumble. Will undermine all his happy talk education lies when he hits the primaries.
Of course omalley's going to oppose this. The testing lobby is huge.

ReplyDeleteAnd, do you know how much the Test Lobby is "donating" to OM's "upkeep"??

Couldn't happen to a more deserving fellow.
Teach Common Core and test something else entirely. Smart.
