Stanford 9
- Share via
After having administered the Stanford 9 exams on the high school level, this is one teacher who finds the idea that the Harcourt Educational Measurement parties responsible for this fiasco are “dismayed” at being fined by the state Board of Education amusing (Aug. 3). The Stanford 9 exams are severely flawed, with questions that are badly composed in terms of language and/or content and proctoring guides that give test timing on several sections that are totally inappropriate for the number and nature of the questions involved.
Before the public continues its teacher-bashing, it should take a good, hard look at what various industries (free enterprise?) are producing. I would go one giant step farther than the state Board of Education: Harcourt, give the people of California a full refund for the shoddy product you put out.
