I am a retired public school teacherand I feel the stress and the onslaught each year when the FCAT is administered. What hinders the State from grading the FCAT using the same standards/ sacle as other test.
Examples:
297 – 299 should be a passing score on a test if the passing score is 300. I think this would have an effect on the drop-0ut rate.
The same scale should apply to teachers who have spent 4-5 years in college and graduate to serve as substitues because they miss the test by one or two points.
