Here is an interesting dilemma. Common Core's writers planned for a grade 11 test that would tell us whether or not students were college and career ready. Parents and state legislators don't know who sets the cut score, what test items are on it, and what exactly a passing score on a college readiness test means, academically. Yet, all those who pass and enroll in a post-secondary educational institution are entitled to credit-bearing coursework in their freshman year.
So, why should most students wanting to go to a public college take a college admissions test, such as the ACT or SAT? No need to waste time and money for another — and unnecessary — test that is also "aligned to" Common Core, we are told.
Princeton, N.J. (CNA/EWTN News) — On a day marked by flowers, chocolate and romantic greeting cards, the Love and Fidelity Network is trying to bring back authentic relationships, especially to college campuses where dating seems to be a thing of the past.
"We've heard from students so many times over the years that most people on campus – those engaged in the hookup culture and those who have already chosen to forgo it – simply don't know how to go on a date," Caitlin La Ruffa, Love and Fidelity Network executive director, told CNA Feb. 9.
