Like all standardized tests, the Common Core
SBAC discriminates against students who come from poor households, students who are not fluent in the English language and students who have special education needs.
Unfair, inappropriate and discriminatory because the Common Core
SBAC test fails to measure what has actually been taught in the classroom, that the
SBAC test is based on materials that is more than two to three levels above grade level, that the
SBAC test pass / fail score is calibrated to fail the majority of public schools
students and that the
SBAC test is particularly unfair because it
discriminates against those who face English Language barriers or need special education services.
As more and more parents understand, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (
SBAC) Testing program unfairly
discriminates against poor
students,
students who aren't fluent in the English language and
students who require special education services.
