Dear Editor:
As a mother, I am concerned with the lack of transparency that is going on with Common Core being implemented in Hillsborough County and the state.
While doing my Kindergarten Round Up, I was told by an assistant principal that the school (Shiloh Charter) is field-testing Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers test this spring (confirmed in an article at stateimpact.npr.org/florida/2014/01/09/floridas-out-but-hillsborough-schools-are-giving-parcc-a-trial-run/). This is the same test the state board said it was not using and searching for a new test.
How are we to trust these people with our children, when they can’t even be honest with us about what they are doing with our children when they are in there care. What else are they hiding with Common Core?
