Strauss Questions Validity Of Common Core Test Questions

Valerie Strauss writes at the Washington Post (5/3, Strauss) "Answer Sheet" blog that a number of New York State educators have "reported problems with some of the questions" on assessments aligned with the Common Core taken recently in the state. "Some questions, they said, appeared to have more than one correct answer and no single obviously correct one; others were considered so time-consuming to answer that many students couldn't finish."
