Why don't the teachers know what to teach? It is my understanding private and home-school students also are required to take the test. There are reports that 45 percent of public school students failed all or part of the CRCT. Where is the front-page newspaper article and TV news story comparing the CRCT test results of public, private, and home school students? Are the CRCT failures limited to just public schools? If so, why?

Her child was an A/B student and failed the grade advancement test, which has a 45% failure rate. She went demanding answers, but was run around in circles, then told 'There's not really a problem. She just needs to study harder.'
